I suppose I should pipe up here and say I've written a new 
Business::PayPal::XML, based on Business::PayPal::API but written anew in XML 
rather than SOAP - mainly for the sake of better readability and 
maintainability. It does pretty much everything in the current Paypal API with 
only a couple of calls left to implement. I freely admit that my old Paypal 
module for IC has turned into a bit of a nightmare to maintain, and it has to 
be said that B::P::API is now in need of updating.

B::P::XML works very well on Dancer with a custom plugin, but the wrapper I've 
written for IC5 refuses to work for me. I expect whatever's wrong is something 
so blindingly obvious that I'm blind to it, but at the moment I'm too busy 
with other stuff to fix it. B::P::XML needs to be documented before I put it 
on CPAN, so currently it's just private. You're welcome to both if you want, 
so long as they don't go public before being properly finished and documented.
