Re: UPS Shipping rates

This is outside my realm because I've never tried it, but from what I understand about WWW::Mechanize, this might be the sort of task it would be good at. (I'm not sure what dependencies it might have on other modules.) You'd need to inspect the source html of the UPS pages involved, in order to determine the names of the input parameters you need to set, etc.

Unfortunately, UPS seems to change their interactive web interface too often to make this practical. I had a working solution using LWP::UserAgent and then parsing the HTML that came back, but a month later they modified the system to pass back more information in another format... Supposedly, the XML feed is the "correct" way to automatically get rate info from them.	[reply]
