[ic] Edits to LinkPoint GlobalSub?

[Jeff cox]

Kevin, 
	Exactly what I thought. However, having now done some research
on what currently exists... got a couple questions.

1. Thomas, did you in fact convert the globalsub to a
Vend::Payment::Linkpoint module? I would hate to re-invent the wheel.

2. I was thinking of just using he basic linkpoint C payment library,
rather than purchasing the perl wrapper... basically using Inline C to
make my own wrapper. Any thoughts on that?

3. I have set up the 4.9.5 release... anyone know of why this wouldn't
work with that release?

Thanks for any help...

Jeff

Why not go the rest of the way and convert the GlobalSub into a
Vend::Payment::LinkPoint module?  It probably wouldn't take up
a lot more of your time and would allow any of the standard
methods of per-site Interchange Payment module configuration to
be used.
