They are now.  As part of SCO's SCOx project, web services support 
(meaning SOAP/XML/HTTPS) is being added to both OSR5 and UW7.
Five languages are supported:  Java, C, C++, Perl, and PHP.
The Perl support includes the technologies you mentioned (SOAP::Lite,
and Crypt::SSLeay).

See http://www.sco.com/scox/ for more, in particular the download
link on the right.

As stated above, five different languages are supported.  Which you pick
is up to you.  Java is powerful and flexible for web service clients,
but Perl is very succinct.  If you are extending an existing application
to make web service calls, then the language of that application might
become the determining factor.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
