This functionality should give you lightweight optionfor hosting SOAP services and greatly simplify configuration aspects. Thismodule inherites functionality from SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Apache componentof SOAP::Lite module. =head1 CONFIGURATIONThe 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 componentare available for configuration. Here is the description of most importantones.=over 4=item 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"=item 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.
