slloyd has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have been tasked to automate the Merchant Order Reports from our Amazon Pro Merchant account. For some reason, I am unable to find very good documentation on how to do this. Any suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks.

    Does "good documentation on how to do this" mean you didn't find example code, specifications for the API, or something else?

    If it's the first, the Monks will be better able (and willing) to assist if you spell out what you've done with the example code and how it fails to satisfy your requirements. If the second, I suspect Amazon would be a better place to ask for information; and if the third, perhaps you will update your post with some clarification.

    slloyd,
    I would assume if you have an Amazon Pro Merchant account, that your company has paid some fee and the best place to get support would be directly from Amazon.

    I looked on CPAN and discovered that with the search criteria of "amazon", 601 results popped up. Many of them reference the Amazon Merchant Services API. I guess to offer some better help, you need to mention which module specifically you are having problems with and what functionality you can't figure out.

    Cheers - L~R
