[Xml-compile] Logging from callback

The day I'll understand all your code I'll feel like it, but today, it
just make me feel dumb :)

Having a choice is good, but sometimes, I feel that these multiple
variants to do the same thing is a drawback. Whatever I learn, It
seems that I still have to learn something new. And when you're a
casual perl programmer, the learning curve is sometimes so heavy that
it isn't worth working with perl. (that's the way I feel with my small
prototype, would I have started with Java, I think I would have
already finished it :-/ ).

This patch works perfectly. I now use Log::Report with the File
backend and everything is working. Once again, many many thanks for
your help!

It's not something mandatory, but I would have liked to issue a real
fault message for unimplemented services of the wsdl. The docs are
clear on how to return fault and I managed to return a simple fault,
but I'd like to return a complex fault (with detail). Is this possible
with x:c ?

I don't see how to do this in
http://search.cpan.org/~markov/XML-Compile-SOAP-Daemon-2.02/lib/XML/Compile/SOAP/Daemon.pod

Should I return something like:

	{
       SiriError => {
				faultcode   => 111,
				faultstring => 'not implemented',
				faultactor  => 'who mom likes',
				OtherError => {
					ErrorText => 'Mistake'
				},
				Description =>  'ARRRG'
        }

Or something like
{
	Fault =>
          { faultcode   => 111
          , faultstring => 'not implemented'
          , faultactor  => 'who mom likes',
          SiriError => {
			OtherError => {
				ErrorText => 'Mistake'
			},
        		Description =>  'ARRRG'
          }
}

Or should I use somewhere the standard soap xml element 'detail' ?

As usual... any help is appreciated :).

Many thanks again,
Robin
