Googling for
soap client $programming_language
gives you tutorials and code snippets for all three languages you
mentioned: PHP [1], Perl [2], Ruby [3, 4]. From a brief look at these,
I'd stay away from Ruby for this, at least for now. I haven't used any
of these libraries myself though.

I hope this helps.

cheers,
Andrea
