[vbox-dev] Webservice connection under perl

[James Lucas]

Frank suggested I moved some of my Virtual Box management scripts to using the
API instead of using VBoxManage for querying information about individual
machines. I've followed all of the documentation (including generating the
vboxService.pm file) in the SDK however I have the following issue.

When running the perl clienttest.pl file provided by the SDK the vboxwebsrv
throws a error "SOAP FAULT: Method 'namesp1:IWebsessionManager_logon' not
implemented: method name or namespace not recognized [SOAP-ENV:Client]"

Web service authentication is set to null for testing. Using the distribution
provided program 'webtest' I know that the vboxwebsrv is working. 

Has anyone encountered this? If anyone has the perl clienttest working can you
please let me know if the SOAP generated is different from what I have below.
(SOAP requests can be dumped using [ use SOAP::Lite +trace => 'debug'; ] in
clienttest.

The SOAP generated is:
