Perl SOAP Quickstart Guide

Examples of how to use ListManager's functions with Perl are available in your ListManager's soap directory:

http://yourlistmanagerurl/soap

These instructions show how to use a Perl toolkit, SOAP::Lite, with ListManager.

1. Download SOAP::Lite:

http://www.soaplite.com/

2. Install SOAP::Lite by running:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install SOAP::Lite'

3. Define a SOAP::Lite function to handle basic authentication. See the SOAP::Lite documentation for more information.

The following is the minimal client script for Perl:

----PERL----
use SOAP::Lite ;

my $USER = 'admin';
my $PASS = 'lyris';
my $WSDL = 'http://YOURSERVERNAME/soap/wsdl';
my $SOAP = SOAP::Lite -> service($WSDL);

my $ApiVersion = $SOAP->ApiVersion();
if ($ApiVersion ne '1.0 Beta') {

    die "Incompatible API version '$ApiVersion' detected!\n"

}

#define Authentication

sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials {
    return $USER => $PASS;

}
