INSTALL - How to install Business::Shipping

NOTES

Getting Started

Be sure to read the "GETTING STARTED" section of the README, because some services (e.g. online tracking requests) require that the user signup for a username and password.

Choosing your bundle

If you are planning on using all of the shipping methods, install Bundle::Business::Shipping. However, you may opt instead to install the required modules for only one shipper:

  • Bundle::Business::Shipping::UPS_Offline

  • Bundle::Business::Shipping::UPS_Online

  • Bundle::Business::Shipping::USPS_Online

  • Bundle::Business::Shipping

CPAN INSTALLATION

Note that the XML::DOM uses XML::Parser, and XML::Parser uses Expat. Therefore, you may need to install Expat before XML::Parser will install.

All shippers:

perl -MCPAN -e 'force install XML::Parser'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Business::Shipping'

UPS_Online only:

perl -MCPAN -e 'force install XML::Parser'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Business::Shipping::UPS_Offline'

UPS_Offline only:

perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Business::Shipping::UPS_Offline'

USPS_Online only:

perl -MCPAN -e 'force install XML::Parser'
perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::Business::Shipping::USPS_Online'

MANUAL INSTALLATION

Be sure to install all required modules before installing. After unpacking the tarball, execute the following:

perl Makefile.PL [--use_defaults=<1|0>]
make
