Sorry about the slow response, but I got curious and googled my name on the Internet, to find this.

I would be Justin Wheeler, the author of Business::UPS (only sort of, I only hacked on it and re-released it, it was originally someone else's code).

I wrote it many many moons ago (I think I was 16 or 17 years old) and it was very ugly, screen scraping code. Someone came out with something better, and my module fell by the wayside. I had plans for updating it, but since I've been screwed far too many times by UPS, I don't feel the need to help anyone else give them their money. UPS is a horrible, horrible company, and I have no intentions of doing anything else with it. If anyone else wants to take over maintainership of it and/or steal the namespace, you have my blessing.

(And my e-mails to cpan@ only bounced for a short while when that particular e-mail address started getting spammed at a rate of ~500 a day. The bounce was removed months ago.)
