Hello great givers of the Perl wisdom.

I currently have the itch to enhance some websites and customer data apps with better (physical, not email) address scrubbing and verification.

While scrubbing incoming or existing address information is just a matter of becoming one with a good set of regexes, verification is another journey all unto itself.

Does anyone know of any good modules for address verification? My ideal match would be something that would use an online service via HTML/SOAP/XML-RPC...I'd even love writing one is I knew of anything serving such requests.

If looked into the Scrape::USPS::* modules, but the rules of engagement are that the service can't be used for commercial purposes.
