I am looking for a general shipping module that would keep me  
abstracted from the inner workings of FedEx, UPS, USPS, and DHL.

I would like to do things like this.

my $ship = Shipping->new;
my $opt = {
			carrier => 'FedEx',
			account => '123456789',
			dest_zip => '01330'
}

$ship->get_rates('GROUND',$opt);

$ship->schedule_pickup($opt);

$ship->get_shipping_label($opt);

I will pay money to have this developed if does not already exists.  
It would need to support the carriers mentioned above.
