I'll need a little more info than that. Are you using Apache? mod_perl?
mod_rewrite? If so, how are they configured for this location. Also, what C::A
module are you trying to dispatch to?

Also, I think you might be confused about what some of those values should be.
The 'prefix' isn't the URL prefix, it's the module name prefix. C::A::Dispatch
dispatches to C::A based modules. Also the url's are assumed to be all
lowercase. Look at the translate_module_name() name if you want to change this.
Looking at the URL you have and the, the prefix and the table your url will map
to a class named WebApp::Webservice. Does that module exist?

Also you seem to be a little confused about that $DEBUG there. For one, "true"
is can't exist without quotes (like you have in "my $DEBUG = true;" Perl doesn't
have true/false literals like that. Use 1 or 0. And then in your hash that you
return you have "$DEBUG => 'true'", that will not do what you think it will. Try
'debug => 1'.
