XML::Compile::Tester is currently only simplifying testing of
XML::Compile, not the ::SOAP or ::SOAP::Daemon.

The pack_type() is often used in examples in the XML::Compile modules,
and originates in XML::Compile::Util.

$action means: portType, operation name.

>  $tester->addCallback($action, \&get_stock_price);

Did you have a look at the script in the example directory?

Typo in SYNOPSIS of the daemon: should be 'callbacks'.  The server
has this parameter, the client not.
