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:

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
 make test
 make install
