You can make this a bit easier to read:
default United Kingdom quantity 0 99999999 f <<EOF
[perl subs=1 global=1 ]
my $null =
gen_hash(
$Scratch->{present_cart},
$Carts->{$Scratch->{present_cart}},
$Tag,
);
my $cost = send_message( [$null,
$Scratch->{present_cart},
$Values->{mv_ship_mode}]
);
return $cost;
[/perl]
EOF
With the one line format, you have to be careful of is TAB in the Perl,
which will be read as the next field and terminate the code. A zero cost
and the error log would key you into that. But better yet:
default: United Kingdom
min 0
max 150
crit quantity
cost f <<EOF
[perl ....] etc.
etc.
[/perl]
EOF
I do wonder why you include the $Tag object at the end.....
This is a good example of how you can use Minivend to glue things
together.
