Perl client: by hand

use SOAP::Lite;
use Arachna::SOAP::Vector;

my $soap = SOAP::Lite
  -> proxy('http://localhost:8080/fogkids/services/ApparelItem')
  -> uri('urn:service.fogkids.arachna.com');

my $list = $soap->getCatalogList()->result;
print 'type: ', ref $list, "\n"; # ARRAY
for my $bean (@$list) {
    print ref $bean,"\n";
    while (my($key,$value)=each %$bean) {
        print "\t$key => $value\n";
    }
}

So $list is a reference to our SOAP response, a Perl ARRAY.
