Re: Multidimensionality in SOAPLite

Hi Eric,
        Thanks! I finally used Dumper to get the following output on the
command line:

$VAR1 = [
          bless( [
                   'have',
                   'data'
                 ], 'string[]' ),
          bless( [
                   'what',
                   'else?'
                 ], 'string[]' )
        ];

Thanks for the advice!!

Lee

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.
