Bug#602056: libsoap-lite-perl: Client dies with "Not a HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 3755."

[Raj Mathur]

Package: libsoap-lite-perl
Version: 0.712-1
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Using the (slightly modified) examples at:

  http://guide.soaplite.com/

causes the client to die with:

  Not a HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 3755.

Sample code (Server)
====================
#!perl -w
use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;
SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Daemon
->new(LocalPort=>1111,ReuseAddr=>1)
-> dispatch_to('Temperatures')     
-> handle;
  package Temperatures;
  sub f2c {
      my ($class, $f) = @_;
      return 5/9*($f-32);
  }
  sub c2f {
      my ($class, $c) = @_;
      return 32+$c*9/5;
  }
  sub new {
      my $self = shift;
      my $class = ref($self) || $self;
      bless {_temperature => shift} => $class;
  }
  sub as_fahrenheit {
      return shift->{_temperature};
  }
  sub as_celsius {
      return 5/9*(shift->{_temperature}-32);
  }

Sample code (Client)
====================
#!perl -w
use SOAP::Lite;
my $soap = SOAP::Lite
-> uri('http://localhost:1111/Temperatures')
-> proxy('http://localhost:1111/');
my $temperatures = $soap
-> call(new => 100) # accept Fahrenheits 
-> result;
print $soap
-> as_celsius($temperatures)
-> result;
