Re: Calling axis stock quote example from perl

I believe that the 'XXX' is the only parameter to the call.  The username and password that are supplied on the command line are for HTTP authentication, I think.  I am not sure how SOAP::Lite does HTTP authentication.  In a quick look at the SOAP::Lite docs, I did not find anything.

Further, it may be that the getQuote method must be prefixed by the namespace used for the URI.  The SOAP::Lite docs seem to show an example of this

 
  print SOAP::Lite
    -> new(....)
    -> call('myprefix:method' => @parameters)
    -> result;
Whether "myprefix" is supposed to the the actual namespace or some prefix you make up, I do not know.  I would guess that the prefix must be the namespace itself.
