Re: Yet another question on POSTing with LWP

mdillon helped with your POST problem.
Have you thought about using Data::Address::Standardize to get the zip codes? I used it for a large mailing I did for a fund raiser - worked quite well with partial addresses and so forth.

Update: ehdonhon points out that D::A::S is deprecated! Been a while since I used it, but id did it's job nicely. Partial addresses magically became complete, wrong addresses became right.

That module appears to be deprecated. I found the following in its pod: NOTE: This code is (nearly) obsolete. It has been gutted, and the guts now reside in Scrape::USPS::ZipLookup. This module persists to maintain the old interface, but use of this module now requires that Scrape::USPS::ZipLookup be installed.	[reply]

If our firm has Scrape::USPS::ZipLookup installed, I just might try using D::A::S. The LWP method will work, but this seems a little easier. Thanks for the great suggestion and prompt feedback!	[reply]

I should have known somebody was smart enough to write a program to interface with UPSP's service. Unfortunately, my firm doesn't have Scrape::USPS::ZipLookup installed, so I'm going to have to work a little harder with LWP. Great suggestion, and thanks for the prompt feedback!	[reply]
