perl

[mojo-jojo]

The wiki lists perl as one of the languages that can be used with the API. 

Are you still planning on this? When can we expect some example code?

Hi,

There are no plans at the moment to produce any Perl examples.

This is the sort of area we would like the community to support us, especially those who have, in this case, Perl expertise.

Cheers,
Roy

Im working on some Perl at the moment and will be happy to provide my code as examples, I'm using SOAP:Lite but am getting stuck with the security header. I get the ticket from the AuthenticationService without issue, its just making the header for the calls I am having problems with giving me security processing failed (actions number mismatch) but I dont know what the header is I am trying to generate.

This is the debug info I have so far, and I cant get past this error.

Hi,

I don't know anything about Perl but your security header misses the Timestamp element which should include the Created and Expired
elements instead of UsernameToken. The Nonce should be removed.
Hope this helps…

Best wishes
