This is definitely a server side issue. I'm going to assume, you're
using Apache 2.x and mod_perl 2.x (1.99.x), correct? And that you've got
libwww-perl properly installed?

Can you give me the output of the following:

perl -MHTTP::Request -e 'my $a = new HTTP::Request;'

It may be, that for some odd reason, we need an HTTP::Request include in
OME::Remote::Apache::Transport for newer versions of SOAP::Lite. If
you're familiar with Perl, you could also give this a try. If not, once
I have the information above, I'll give you a patch to test.
