I implemented something driving Business::Fedex::DirectConnect at my last job.

The Fedex docs document the relevant codes. (No, I don't have them anymore.)

I forget whether it used to be the case that one required a Fedex account # just to download their package, but it was the case that one needed an account # to talk to their server.

Tell your boss to cough up the bucks for the account #. You don't want to try to compute the rates yourself... there are so many rules and exceptions you'd be at it for weeks (even if you could get all the relevant documentation without the account.)
