Using CanadaPost's SellOnline facility
2009-Jan: As mentioned in my
Canada-Post rant,
I first toyed with the idea of using this free facility from Canada-Post in 2008-Jan, when needing to revise shipping rates, but I got side-tracked by
my frustration over their site refusing to allow itself to be read by any browser available to those who value free software.
That is a darn shame, and Canada-Post ought to be ashamed of itself! As if it has any shame:-)
Then, one year later when once again needing to revise shipping rates, I gave it another try. And got it working.
The required Perl modules are available from CPAN:
Statistics::OLS;
while Business::CanadaPost is available at CPAN, you're
advised to get the updated version from the link below.
Here is the Perl script.
Here is an updated Business::CanadaPost module to reflect changes at Canada-Post.
