Re: [mv] Simple &charge globalsub always failing.

I was beating my head against this very thing last night.  Here's what you
need to know.  In profiles.order you need a &charge custom webauthorize.
This tells IC (MV) which globalsub to use.  The return from the new
globalsub is not just looking for a true value, it's looking for a sneaky
hash value.  For a successful transaction, you'll need to return a hash
with and 'MStatus' element with the value 'success'.  So something like
this:
	my $result{'MStatus'} = 'success';
	return %result;
To get you a little further on, 'MStatus' = 'denied' denotes a failure and
'ErrMsg' (I think) should have a string denoting the nature of the error.
If you leave &credit_card standard keep in there, your cc number will get
encrypted and deleted from $CGI::values{mv_credit_card_number} before you
can use it.  

Let me know how it works out.
