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

    Returns the server object.

    Useful if you need to manipulate the server object from your code.

  handle
    Request handler. Called by apache.
