Today I played with SOAP for the first time. I love the concept of RPC -- it's not new, by a long way, but its extension to the web is sweet. Especially with Perl and SOAP::Lite. I love that I can make a simple method call and not have to worry about whether the implementation is in a local module, or somewhere in New Zealand. Unfortunately, having to look out for 402 Payment Required exceptions in addition to the usual ones is just painful (at least until Structured Exceptions come in Perl 6).
