It's better to use
   $operation->explain($wsdl, PERL => 'INPUT', recurse => 1);
than some kind of "illegal" introspection.  Also
   $wsdl->explain('xyz', PERL => 'INPUT', recurse => 1);

Yes, that's actually the normal situation.  It's even possible to have
multiple bodies.

You need to provide the name of the part.  See output of "explain".
