  I know I could do it with perl, just check the basket total, the credit,
and just pop items off the basket till it's under. Not sure how to do it
in vanilla minivend.

sub no_more {
	my ($credit) = @_;
	while(&Vend::Interpolate::tag_total_cost($Vend::Items) > $credit) {
		pop @{$Vend::Items};
	}
}
 
something like that in a globalsub would do.
