Changes for version 1.55
- General
- Rewrite the 'service' parameter/function
- User can specify full names such as 'Ground Residential' instead of GNDRES or 03.
- Backwards-compatible
- Allows easy retrieval of service names, codes, nicknames, etc.
- Prepares the way for new UPS_Online 'Shop' service.
- Rewrite the 'results' feature
- Remove old 'packages' idea.
- Make room for new UPS_Online 'Shop' service.
- Not backwards-compatible, but results() was not intended to be public before.
- Misc code cleanups
- Remove some old utility functions.
- [Fixed] Tests tried to load Cache::FileCache, even when the module was not installed. Now it tries to detect the module first.
- [Fixed] Business::Shipping::RateRequest loaded Cache::FileCache even though it is not needed at that level anymore.

- [Enh] Remove dependancy on updated version of Scalar::Util (now older versions will work).

- $rr_shop->go() or die $rr_shop->user_error();
- foreach my $shipper ( @$results ) { print "Shipper: $shipper->{name}\n\n"; foreach my $rate ( @{ $shipper->{ rates } } ) { print " Service: $rate->{name}\n"; print " Charges: $rate->{charges_formatted}\n"; print " Delivery: $rate->{deliv_date_formatted}\n" if $rate->{ deliv_date_formatted }; print "\n"; } }
