There's a ton of debugging output you can get out of POE... my usual
routine is:
POE_ASSERT_DEFAULT=1 perl myprog.pl 2> somelog.txt
run the server for a while, make a request or possibly 2, then kill it.
However there's a lot more settings than that, and you don't have to set
them from your shell as an environment variable (this may only be a
cvs-poe feature, not sure).

In any case, I've never used PoCo::Server::SOAP before, so I'm not sure
if the samples are broken or what. The usual mistake I'm prone to
hitting in POE is that I've mistyped a state name somewhere, which
because they are just strings to perl don't produce an error. The
TRACE_EVENTS debug feature may be what you want to try.
I'm reading over the docs to PoCo::Server::SOAP and may come back with a
better answer soon.
