There are many things wrong and weird with the XML.

To start with
   http://brixworks02.example.com:8080/API/SOAP/Utils/"
it is forbidden to use a namespace which is not a domain you own
yourself.  And why should one use a portnumber in here?  A namespace
is not the address of a server!!!!  If anything, it should be the
location of the schema/wsdl files.

Then
  <pending xsi:type="xsd:int">0</pending>
  <active xsi:type="xsd:int">0</active>
  <shared xsi:type="xsd:int">0</shared>
The elements are of type xsd:boolean
  http://www.w3.org/TR/2012/PR-xmlschema11-2-20120119/#built-in-datatypes
With xsi:type you can replace an element which extend the indicated type.
Well, an int is not an extension of a boolean.  And why is it an int here?

This is bad:
>  <account_id xsi:nil="true"/>
>  <description xsi:nil="true"/>
You can only use this trick when the element has a nillable="true"
attribute.  I have seen this mistake the other way around, where
people treat a nillable attribute as were it optional. I even made
an work-around with the interpret_nillable_as_optional attribute.
This schema, however, would need a "nillable_means_missing", or
something like that.

And yes, you're right: this is a bug as well:
> <SLAObject xmlns="" xsi:type="namesp1:SLAObject">
The schema has elementFormDefault="qualified" 

Conclusion: the schema component in this wsdl is horribly broken. In
many respects. You cannot use XML::Compile(::SOAP) in this case.
