If I remember correctly, I tried the same and didn't work for me neither...

Here is what works for me: the service takes several secondaries, so it puts 
all parameter values into a %paramHash:

if ( $articleType == SECONDARY ) {
  my $param = $input->getAttribute('articleName');
  my @valueNodes = $input->getChildrenByTagName('moby:Value');
  my $value = $valueNodes[0]->textContent(); # there should be only one value
  $paramHash{$param} = $value;
}

Hope this helps.
