Google's can be quite simplistic, or, when it tries to query us back, it misses data, then the shoppers are left with the default rates (which is not ideal). the biggest challenge we’ve run into is dealing with shipping rates.

Check that your server is set up to run CGI files outside of the /cgi-bin/ folder 2. Check that the permissions for the CGI script are set to 755 3. Try using the CGI::Carp module by adding the line 'use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser)' near the top of your script - this should output most fatal errors to your browser Hope that helps!

This script is exactly what I am trying to do. I am unable to get a response that I can read. Firefox wants to open a file associated with cgi. When I check in notepad, I get unreadable text. IE displays an HTTP 500 server error. The sample API sample files run from the command line, and generate a readble url, but when I put them on the server as cgi they produce the same problem. I know I am missing something, but can't quite figure it out. Any advice would be appreciated. John www.photobooks.us/checkout/test.htm I'm running activestate perl 5.8.8 and apache 2.2.4 win32 I've already solved the date-manip issue with adding TZ to the environment variables.

Is it possible to top up when their balance or credit on something is running low? Is it possible to do subscription management on the google checkout?
