C::C::SOAP++. That combined with pre-built schemas allowed me to get
into the difficult (and mostly fun) bits of actually implementing the
SOAP calls very quickly. Also Ruoso++ for his awesome work in the
recent releases to automate working WSDL.

I briefly looked at Pod::WSDL, but ended up not needing to because of
my prebuilt schemas. Once you have schemas, the WSDL becomes pretty
straightforward. That said, I'd be very interested to hear from anyone
who had to generate their own WSDL/schemas too.
