So I'm writing Perl to talk SOAP over

So I'm writing Perl to talk SOAP over XML to a Java re-implementation of a COBOL system. My life has gone seriously off the rails.

Not a prayer.
And, worse, it appears that several of the fields are then extracted from the XML and parsed, by convention that's passed around by lore.
The real answer here is that I need to be doing something else, because this is sucking the will to live from me.

Any chance you can just talk to the databases directly?
The assumptions made in reinventing what was probably a very procedural and business logic flow of Cobol into Java are mind boggling. Adding the abstracion of the data logic/schema into XML (with SOAP suds lathered around it) means you are fitting some simple round peg into a corkscrew shaped hole.
