DESCRIPTION
    This Apache Perl module provides the ability to add support for SOAP
    (Simple Object Access Protocol) protocol with easy configuration (either
    in .conf or in .htaccess file). This functionality should give you
    lightweight option for hosting SOAP services and greatly simplify
    configuration aspects. This module inherits functionality from
    SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache component of SOAP::Lite module.

CONFIGURATION
    The module can be placed in <Location>, <Directory>, <Files>,
    <FilesMatch> directives in main server configuration areas or directly
    in .htaccess file.

    All parameters should be quoted and can be separated with commas or
    spaces for lists ("a, b, c") and with 'wide arrows' and commas for hash
    parameters ("key1 => value1, key2 => value2").

    All options that you can find in SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache component
    are available for configuration. Here is the description of most
    important ones.

    dispatch_to (LIST)
        Specifies path to directory that contains Perl modules you'd like to
        give access to, or just list of modules (for preloaded modules).

          PerlSetVar dispatch_to "/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules, Module::Name, Module::method"

    options (HASH)
        Specifies list of options for your module, for example threshold for
        compression. Future versions will support more options. See
        SOAP::Transport::HTTP documentation for other options.

          PerlSetVar options "compress_threshold => 10000"

METHODS/SUBROUTINES

     my $server = Apache::XMLRPC::Lite->server();
