[ic] UPS/FedEx WWW Lookup Charge Type

[Steve Graham]

Hello,

I was not aware that there was a CPAN module that gets live shipping rates 
data from UPS - this is great.
Business::UPS - Enables lookup of shipping costs directly from www.ups.com.
Where can I find more information about implementing this, and the fallback 
if it timeouts?
