Here is a sample client.  Each sample should work on ruby/CVS HEAD, 
ruby/1.8.1 and ruby/1.6.8 + soap4r/1.5.2.  Of course it should run with 
soap4r/CVS.

% ruby -rpp -rsoap/wsdlDriver -e '
raa = SOAP::WSDLDriverFactory.new(
   "http://www.ruby-lang.org/xmlns/soap/interface/RAA/0.0.4/"
).create_driver
pp raa.gem("soap4r")
'

You'll see the RAA information of "soap4r" project.

This sample calls only one method 'raa.gem("projectname")'.  Interface 
is defined in WSDL and you can see sample which calls all methods at 
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lib/soap4r/sample/wsdl/raa2.4/wsdlDriver.rb?rev=1.2
You can update RAA information with following code (excerpted from above 
  sample code).

   name = 'sampleproject'
   pass = 'sampleproject'
   gem = raa.gem(name)           # retrieve current information
   gem.project.version.succ!     # modify it
   gem.updated = Time.now
   raa.update(name, pass, gem)   # update

By the way, above samples uses WSDL directly, so the client fetches WSDL 
each time.  It's simple as a sample but could be a waste of time.  With 
a script wsdl2ruby.rb which is included in soap4r/1.5.2 or soap4r/CVS, 
you can pregenerate skeleton driver script to avoid fetching WSDL each 
time. (i.e. ruby/CVS HEAD and ruby/1.8.1 do not include the script 
wsdl2ruby.rb).

Here is a sample which uses wsdl2ruby.rb at
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lib/soap4r/sample/soap/raa2.4/sample.rb?rev=1.1
Pregenerated skeleton driver files are at 
http://www.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/lib/soap4r/sample/soap/raa2.4/
