Hello,
Recently I asked why LWP::UserAgent does not work from a UPS type user
tag and there were no solutions offered.
I have created a solution for the Australia Post Delivery Rate
Calculator online, with complete code and instructions under interchange
on the left at:
http://www.franz-schubert.com/
What I did was looped through all permutations of Country, Mode and
Weight required for practical purposes and queried the online DRC for
each. Package size was set to 10cm cubed and destination postcode 01532
for overseas.
I compounded a space delimited unique searchable key:
Country Mode Weight
Which looks like this:
country_mode_weight charge delivery_time
AF AIR 1000 28 10
AF AIR 2000 52.6 10
AF AIR 3000 67.5 10
AF AIR 4000 82.4 10
AF AIR 5000 97.3 10
AF AIR 6000 112.2 10
AF AIR 7000 127.1 10
The result is a much crisper checkout and no dependence on DRC being online.
Regards,
Frank Reitzenstein
