Debug tools for XML SOAP messages

I'm struggling a bit with some of the more complex call to iControl using perl and SOAP::Lite. At times I want   to look at the XML messages and see if they are compliant with the API. I'm using 't...

What I'm getting back is an error from iControl.cgi, so

I'm looking at the trace data to see what the SOAP XML looks

like. But off course that something like this:

                   xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
                   xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"
                   xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
                   SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
  
    
            SOAP-ENC:arrayType="SOAP-ENC:Array[1]">
                SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[2]">
          SnatAutoMap
                    SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[2]">
            SNAT_TYPE_AUTOMAP
            
          
        
      
            SOAP-ENC:arrayType="SOAP-ENC:Array[1]">
                SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[1]">
          0.0.0.0
        
      
            SOAP-ENC:arrayType="SOAP-ENC:Array[1]">
                SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:ur-type[0]" />

I'd like to turn that into something more readable, given I'm

no SOAP expert. I.e. I would think that if I could compare

the XML with the API, I'd see what I'm doing wrong...
