NAME Business::Shipping - Shipping cost calculator for UPS and USPS INSTALLATION perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES Bundle::LWP Crypt::SSLeay XML::Simple XML::DOM Digest::SHA1 Error Cache::FileCache Data::Dumper Class::MethodMaker GETTING STARTED * For USPS: Sign up online for free: - http://www.uspswebtools.com - The online signup will result in a testing-only account (only a small sample of queries will work). To activate the "production" use of your USPS account, you must follow the USPS documentation. Currently, that means contacting the Internet Customer Care Center by e-mail or phone: icustomercare@usps.com 1-800-344-7779 * For UPS: Sign up online for free: - https://www.ups.com/servlet/registration?loc=en_US_EC - You will get a User Id, Password, and Access Key from UPS. USAGE EXAMPLES * See Shipping.pm POD documentation for API and usage examples. * This module is used by the Interchange E-Commerce software (http://www.icdevgroup.org). For a reference implementation of Business::Shipping, see the UserTag/business-shipping.tag file, it implements a function that takes shipping-related arguments, builds a Business::Shipping object, then returns the calculated cost.
