6 stubmaker.pl - Generates client stubs from a WSDL file.
7
9 -d <dirname>
10 Specifies the directory you wish to output the files to. The direc‐
11 tory must already exist.
12
13 -v Turns on "verbose" output during the code stub generation process.
14 To be honest, there is not much the program outputs, but if you
15 must see something output to the console, then this fits the bill.
16
17 --help
18 Outputs a short help message.
19
20 --version
21 Outputs the current version of stubmaker.pl.

24 STUB SUBROUTINES
25
26 The "class" or "package" created by stubmaker.pl is actually a sub-
27 class of the core SOAP::Lite object. As a result, all methods one can
28 call upon SOAP::Lite one can also call upon generated stubs.
29
30 For example, suppose you wanted to obtain readable output from the gen‐
31 erated stub, then simply call readable(1) on the stub's instance. See
32 the example below.
33
34 The following subroutines are unique to generated stub classes, and
35 help the user control and configure the stub class.
36
37 want_som(boolean)
38 When set to 1, SOAP::Lite will return SOAP::SOM objects to the
39 user upon invoking a method on a remote service. This is very
40 helpful when you need to check to see if the return value is a
41 SOAP::Fault or not. When set to 0, SOAP::Lite will return the
42 return value of the method.

56 $f = new full; > $f->use_prefix(0); > $f->readable(1); >
57 $f->want_som(1); > $som = $f->echoViaBase64("foo");
