OVERVIEW
This Version: 0.55-6
SOAP::Lite (
http://www.soaplite.com/) is a SOAP Toolkit
that allows users to create SOAP clients and services. As
of June 12, 2002, MIME support in SOAP::Lite was minimal.
It could parse MIME formatted messages, but the data
contained in those attachments was "lost." This Perl module,
patches SOAP::Lite so that those MIME attachments are
stored and placed into a SOAP::SOM object.
PREREQUISITES
You must first install SOAP::Lite prior to installing SOAP::MIME, as
SOAP::MIME is a patch to SOAP::Lite. SOAP::Lite version 0.55 required.
You can install SOAP::Lite easily, by downloading the module from
http://soaplite.com/ or as you would install any perl module library,
by running these commands:
If you have CPAN.pm installed and are connected to the Internet:
perl -MCPAN -e shell
> install SOAP::Lite
or even
perl -MCPAN -e 'install SOAP::Lite'
INSTALLATION
Install SOAP::MIME just as you would any other Perl module:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
Use nmake instead of make on Windows platform.
DOCUMENTATION
See lib/SOAP/Lite.pm for an overview of the library. Documentation is
included in modules and scripts. These are normally converted to manual
pages and installed as part of the "make install" process. You should
also be able to use the 'perldoc' utility to extract and read
documentation from the module files directly.
LIMITATIONS
- This implementation patches SOAP::Lite. But 'use'ing it, you completely
override functions found in SOAP::Lite. This may produce weird behavior
if you are not using attachments. What 'wierd' means, I don't know. But
if you find something, please file a bug in sourceforge:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/soapmime
SUPPORT
Feel free to send mail directly to author with your comments, suggestions,
bug reports and complaints.
