I was under the impression that things had changed a little, since
then.  Can't you simply pass the 'timeout' parameter to compileClient
on the moment?

The basic problem is that we have to combine various independent
packages which need to be configured. I could have forced everyone
to always instantiate the transporter, but that looks like work.
The default usually works ok.

It is a little simpler when you use XML::Compile::Cache features
on which ::WSDL11 is based.

  my $trans = XML::Compile::Transport::SOAPHTTP->new(
    timeout => 500,
    address => 'http://soap_server_address'	
  );
  my $soapSrv = XML::Compile::WSDL11->new($wsdlXml,
    opts_rw => [transport => $trans]
  );

  my $call = $soapSrv->compileClient(...)

When I see your code, I think the module needs to cache the calls
for you, just like reader() and writer() do... Should I name it call()?

The problem is that there are too many options to expand it to every
corner of the library. Let's pick sane defaults to DWIM a little,
but not try to avoid all pain in all situations.
