## NAME
       stubmaker - Generates client stubs from a WSDL file.

## OPTIONS
### -d <dirname>
           Specifies the directory you wish to output the files to. The directory must already
           exist.

       -v  Turns on "verbose" output during the code stub generation process. To be honest, there is
           not much the program outputs, but if you must see something output to the console, then
           this fits the bill.

### --help
           Outputs a short help message.

### --version
           Outputs the current version of stubmaker.

## STUB FILES
   **STUB** **SUBROUTINES**
       The "class" or "package" created by stubmaker is actually a sub-class of the core [SOAP::Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ALite/markdown)
       object. As a result, all methods one can call upon [SOAP::Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ALite/markdown) one can also call upon
       generated stubs.

       For example, suppose you wanted to obtain readable output from the generated stub, then
       simply call [readable(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/readable/1/markdown) on the stub's instance. See the example below.

       The following subroutines are unique to generated stub classes, and help the user control and
       configure the stub class.

       want_som(boolean)
           When set to 1, [SOAP::Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ALite/markdown) will return [SOAP::SOM](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ASOM/markdown) objects to the user upon invoking a
           method on a remote service. This is very helpful when you need to check to see if the
           return value is a [SOAP::Fault](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3AFault/markdown) or not. When set to 0, [SOAP::Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ALite/markdown) will return the return
           value of the method.

## EXAMPLES
### Invoking stubmaker from the command line
       > perl stubmaker <http://www.xmethods.net/sd/StockQuoteService.wsdl> Or: > perl
       "-MStockQuoteService qw(:all)" -le "print getQuote('MSFT')"

### Working with stub classes
       Command line: > perl stubmaker <http://ws1.api.re2.yahoo.com/ws/soap-demo/full.wsdl>

       File: echo > use full; > use [SOAP::Lite](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/SOAP%3A%3ALite/markdown) +trace => qw( debug ); > my $f = new full; >
       $f->[_use_prefix_(0)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/useprefix/0/markdown); > $f->[_readable_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/readable/1/markdown); > $f->[_want_som_(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/wantsom/1/markdown); > $som = $f->echoViaBase64("foo");
