Returning raw xml in SOAP::Lite

Dear Perl folks,

Using Perl 5.8.7 and SOAP::Lite 0.69, consider please this small example
from perl.com:

-----------------
#!perl -w

use SOAP::Transport::HTTP;

SOAP::Transport::HTTP::CGI
-> dispatch_to('Demo')
-> handle;

package Demo;

sub hi {
return "hello, world";
}

sub bye {
return "goodbye, cruel world";
}
-----------------

Now, I got SOAP service set up like that. But what I want, instead of,
say, return ("goodbye, cruel world");, is to return a RAW xml stream,
complete with xml envelope and all (the xml is generated in another
place), and parse that straight back to the client.

Now, I tried several things; like setting outputxml => 1. Or this:

$xml = SOAP::Data->type('xml' => $raw);
return ($xml);

(and yes, $raw is defined within the "Demo" package). But the result is
always the same: SOAP::Lite returns an empty SOAP envelope. For the life
of me I just cannot get SOAP::Lite to just output my raw data to the
client.

I am kinda new to SOAP, and quite obviously missing something. If someone
has any ideas, I'll be glad to hear them.

Thanks,

- Mark
