             sample of queries will work).

             USPS documentation.  Currently, that means contacting the Internet

USAGE EXAMPLES
    * See Shipping.pm POD documentation for API and usage examples.

    * Business::Shipping is used by the Interchange E-Commerce software
      (http://www.icdevgroup.org).  For a reference implementation of
      Business::Shipping, see the UserTag/business-shipping.tag file, it implements
      a function that takes shipping-related arguments, builds a Business::Shipping
      object, then returns the calculated cost.
