My 2 cents...

I dont know if the modules work better but I can assure you that FedEx is far superior to UPS.

I get lots of crushed boxes at my job, all of them come through UPS. I don't think they actually care about anything they do -> that is why the documentation is so awful. I have never had to return anything because FedEx or USPS destroyed it, but I have had to return 2 items that UPS smashed flat(and delivered with no comment).

From my experience in the past, CPAN has a lot of modules that started off strong but never followed through on a correct and polished library of code -> plus everything in the entire world seems to change on a monthly basis rendering the development of stable code a near impossibility in any case.

For my money I would say: Jump in with WebService:UPS and help implement the functionality you need.
