Comments on: Track UPS Packages with Perl – WebService::UPS http://www.kbrandt.com/2009/03/track-ups-packages-with-perl-webserviceups.html Original computing and productivity articles by a Linux administrator Sun, 28 Feb 2010 16:12:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Joshua Radke http://www.kbrandt.com/2009/03/track-ups-packages-with-perl-webserviceups.html/comment-page-1#comment-7053 Joshua Radke Tue, 24 Nov 2009 18:12:38 +0000 http://www.kbrandt.com/?p=236#comment-7053 Kyle, These Modules were fantastic (and easy!) for developing a simple application against UPS's web service. I had a need to use a different 'Option' in TrackRequest, and modified (slightly) the module. The Content_Type modification was referred to in the UPS manual, I believe. I'd like to submit the changes back, but am uncertain who gets them. Here is a diff: (Feel free to contact me for the modified .pm) diff TrackRequest.pm TrackRequest.pm.orig 25,26c25 ( is => 'rw', 'activity'); --- > 44c43 < ${\$self->Option} --- > activity 52c51 request(POST $self->URL, Content_Type => 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', --- > my $response = $userAgent->request(POST $self->URL, Content_Type => 'text/xml', Kyle,

There is actually is pretty extensive documentation (that was updated about a month ago) on the XML schema for the tracking information ( although I forget exactly where I found it) . I am pretty new to Perl, so feel free to offer any advice on how I can make the test suite more robust! I just wanted to get the module out there. Thanks for taking a look.

Do you have any plans to add shipping rate requests as in http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Business::Shipping::UPS_XML That module hasn't been updated since 2004 and really could use a replacement. Hello,

I’m happy to see new developments in the Perl->UPS area. Do you have any plans to add shipping rate requests as in http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Business::Shipping::UPS_XML

That module hasn’t been updated since 2004 and really could use a replacement.
