Hi,

I need to pass an xml file to a webservice URL and get the reponse.

1. I have the URL of the webservice.
2. I have the URL to view WSDL file.
3. I have the file which i want to send.

Can someone please help me for this?

How much are you getting paid for this gig, and how much of a cut are  
you offering for assistance?

You don’t get paid for your work?!

Seriously: we’re happy to assist when you get stuck on a problem, but  
not do the whole thing for you. Please follow the advice given here:  
[http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro](http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html#intro)

If you really don’t know where to start, then look for Net::HTTP (which  
gives you a low-level interface to HTTP POST operations), or soap4r  
(which gives you a high-level interface to SOAP operations, e.g. it can  
use the WSDL to create an object API)
