Example:
In your catalog conf, something like

SOAP_Action  soap_time   <<EOR
sub {
         my $locale = @_;
        return $Tag->time($locale);
}
EOR

SOAP_Control  Action/soap_time always


Now you can query the SOAP server according to

my $soap_response = SOAP::Lite
   -> proxy('http://localhost:7780/yourCat/')
    -> uri('http://yourserver/Vend/SOAP')
  -> soap_time($locale)
;

But once again:  Do the right thing in the global conf! (Whatever that is).

Good luck!
