When the return value is a one-dimensional array, SOAP::Lite gives you
an array reference, just as it does with input parameters.  It wouldn't
surprise me if this case works much the same.  I would read up on the
Data::Dumper module, which will provide you a way to see just what kind
of value you get back from the service.
