Ah, you're human ;-)
[I am this week on a short holidays, so sorry for the delay in responses]

schema2example can be used to see schema structures, but does not know
about SOAP calls.

You need to write a basic program (about 10 lines) to be able to produce
these.  Something like

  my $wsdl = XML::Compile::WSDL->new(....);
  $wsdl->importDefinitions(...);
  print $wsdl->explain('createPerson', PERL => 'OUTPUT', recurse => 1);

That should suffice.
Don't hessitate to ask more details.
