Are you using the latest 2.* versions?
Send me what you try, and I will take a look at it.  I may learn your
needs, and therewith improve the implementation and/or documentation.

Probably Net::Daemon is more straight-forward so faster.  Depends on what
you configure.  It is quite easy to merge tasks in any daemon.

Then you have to maintain two large modules.

SOAP::WSDL has many limitations (have used [and rewritten] it intensively)
Its successor is better: SOAP::WSDL2.
