Unlikely. The error is pretty obvious: the XML parser encountered an element it did not expect in the server's response: . This suggests that the server is not returning an XML document at all but rather a normal web page. Perhaps this is a 404 or 500 error page? In any case, the create_rpc_driver method experts to find a WSDL file which the server must provide. Perhaps your perl code is not using a wsdl driver? HTH, Phil
