Ah, good to know that. How can I help? I have a contract that will pay
me money to help SOAP::Lite improve itself.

Can I add more test cases? If so which ones would be good to focus on?

Does the documentation need updating? Which parts? Do new pieces need
adding - I heard someone mention the idea of a cookbook.

Does the code need to be re-worked? I don't have much of an issue with
the code as it stands - but I do find a large number of subroutines
that have similar names and similar purposes and aren't exactly clear
as to what they do. But that is because I am new to the codebase.

Any other ways that I could spend someone else's money and help the
Perl and SOAP::Lite community?

Cheers, jas.
