=head1 DESCRIPTION

Calculates USPS costs via the WWW using the United States Postal Service Rate
Rate Calculator API. You *MUST* register with USPS in order to use this service.
Visit http://www.usps.com/webtools and follow the link(s) to register. You will
receive a confirmation email upon completing the registration process. You 
*MUST* follow the instructions in this email to obtain access to the production
rate quote server. THIS USERTAG WILL NOT WORK WITH USPS's TEST SERVER.


=head1 PARAMETERS

=head2 Base Parameters (always required):


=over 4

=item service

The USPS service you wish to get a rate quote for. Services currently supported:

    EXPRESS
    FIRST CLASS
    PRIORITY
    PARCEL
    BPM
    LIBRARY
    MEDIA
    GLOBAL EXPRESS GUARANTEED DOCUMENT SERVICE
    GLOBAL EXPRESS GUARANTEED NON-DOCUMENT SERVICE
    GLOBAL EXPRESS MAIL (EMS)
    AIRMAIL PARCEL POST
    ECONOMY (SURFACE) PARCEL POST
    POSTCARDS - AIRMAIL
    AEROGRAMMES - AIRMAIL
    MATTER FOR THE BLIND - ECONOMY MAIL


=item weight

The total weight of the items to be mailed/shipped.

=item userid

Your USPS webtools userid, which was obtained by registering.
This will default to $Variable->{USPS_ID}, which is the preferred
way to set this parameter.

=item passwd

Your USPS webtools passwd, which was obtained by registering.
This will default to $Variable->{USPS_PASSWORD}, which is the 
preferred way to set this parameter.

=back 4

=head2 Extended Parameters (domestic and international services)


=over 4

=item url

The URL of the USPS rate quote API. The default is $Variable->{USPS_URL}
or 'http://Production.ShippingAPIs.com/ShippingAPI.dll'.

=item modulo

Enables a rudimentary method of obtaining rate quotes for multi-box shipments. 
'modulo' is a number which represents the maximum weight per box; the default 
is $Variable->{USPS_MODULO}. When modulo > 0, the shipping weight will be divided 
into the number of individual parcels of max. weight 'modulo' which will accommodate 
the whole shipment, and the total rate will be calculated accordingly. 
Example: with modulo = 10, a 34.5lbs. shipment will be calculated as 3 parcels 
weighing 10lbs. each, plus one parcel weighing 4lbs. 8oz.

=back 4

=head2 Extended Parameters for domestic (U.S.) services only


=over 4

=item origin

Origin zip code. Default is $Variable->{USPS_ORIGIN} or $Variable->{UPS_ORIGIN}.

=item destination

Destination zip code. Default is $Values->{zip} or $Variable->{SHIP_DEFAULT_ZIP}.

=item container

The USPS-defined container type for the shipment. Default is
Variable->{USPS_CONTAINER} or 'None". Please see the Technical Guide to the
Domestic Rates Calculator Application Programming Interface for a complete
list of container types.

=item machinable (for PARCEL service only)

Possible value are 'True' and 'False'. Indicates whether or not the shipment
qualifies for machine processing by UPS. Default is $Variable->{USPS_MACHINABLE}
or 'False". Consult the USPS service guides for more info on this subject.
