Google Checkout in Perl, now on SF

All righty, new SourceForge project for Google Checkout in Perl: http://sourceforge.net/projects/gcheckout-perl

If you want in, just tell me your SF username and I'll add you. I plan on being promiscuous with commit bits, as always.

There isn't any code yet because I'm still baking up the first alpha, but it's getting there. Lord willing and the crick don't rise, there'll be stuff in subversion before the Monday night Volity meeting.

This is going to be the tightest Perl code I've ever written. Volity's Perl libraries are quite good (I am told), but they're based on programming philosophies I held three years ago, and I've gone up a level or two since then.

Christ, those Splunk banner ads are irritating.

Have we talked?

A while back, I got an email from someone who mentioned working on Google Checkout modules in Perl, and queried about integrating those into Handel (handelframework.com). At the time, I was in the middle of a big refactor, but I'm now done with that.

If that was or wasn't you, we should chat sometime. One of the goals of Handel 1.0 was to allow people to store carts/orders in different locations.. DB/LDAP/XML, and even Google Checkout as long as someone wrote a layer for it.

You can find Handel, and my email at http://search.cpan.org/~claco
