GETTING STARTED

    - http://www.uspswebtools.com/registration/

    - The online signup will result in a testing-only account (only a small
	  sample of queries will work).  
	  
	- To activate the "production" use of your USPS account, you must follow the
	  USPS documentation.  Currently, that means contacting the Internet 
	  Customer Care Center by e-mail or phone:

USAGE EXAMPLES

* See Shipping.pm POD documentation for API and usage examples.

* This module is used by the Interchange E-Commerce software 
  (http://www.icdevgroup.org).  For a reference implementation of 
  Business::Shipping, see the UserTag/business-shipping.tag file, it implements
  a function that takes shipping-related arguments, builds a Business::Shipping
  object, then returns the calculated cost.
