Hi I did progress again, and solved my issues/questions so far
I will post here a little example based on the Betfair public API, hopping it will help the next ones wanting to try SOAP::WSDL
follow instruction and have SOAP::WSDL installed on your box.
also install the Crypt::SSLeay package as API is using HTTPS.
then from command line of your box:
perl wsdl2perl.pl -b ./w2p https://api.betfair.com/global/v3/BFGlobalService.wsdl
then go into the subdir w2p and run following script
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use MyInterfaces::BFGlobalService::BFGlobalService;
my $bfs = MyInterfaces::BFGlobalService::BFGlobalService->new(
);
print "\n ... going to log in now!\n";
#$bfs->no_dispatch( 1 );
my $sres = $bfs->login( {
request => {
username => 'your_betfair_id',
password => 'your_betfair_pwd',
productId=> 82
}
}
);
die $sres if not $sres;
print $sres;
print Dumper $sres->as_hash_ref();
print "\n\n\n";
my $obj = $sres->get_Result()->get_errorCode();
print "$obj \n";
my $validUntil = $sres->get_Result()->get_validUntil();
print "$validUntil \n";
my $sesstoken = $sres->get_Result()->get_header()->get_sessionToken();
print "$sesstoken \n";
print "\n ... going to send a keepAlive\n";
# $bfs->no_dispatch( 1 );
my $resp = $bfs->keepAlive (
{ request => { header => { sessionToken => $sesstoken } } }
);
die $resp if not $resp;
print $resp;
print Dumper $resp->as_hash_ref();
print "\n\n\n";
print $resp->get_FOO();
this will give you following output:
dom@dom-inspiron:~/Soap-Wsdl-Betfair/sources/w2p$ perl ../test3.pl

Can't locate object method "get_FOO" via package "MyElements::keepAliveResponse".
Valid methods are: get_Result, set_Result

This small example should give you some hints about getting return values,
about putting a value in the body or header segment of a soap request.
I did not make the complete use of the power of SOAP::WSDL yet,
but have to say: ... THANK YOU MARTIN! Nice clean job all around.
Hoping this post may help others to find the first leads into this module
Tchao!
