Actually, we wrote a module (we called it Business::Payment) which supported different
payment systems in a DBIish way. (We wrote a Business::Payment::CyberCash, and a
Business::Payment::CyberSource.) Unfortunately, we never considered CPANing the code,
because I think that because it uses knowledge (e.g., the published API) of these
payment systems, public release would violate the license agreements of their payment
libraries. Furthermore, the systems were just different enough that we had to strip
down the use of functionality in order to write Business::Payment code that was
cross-platform (between the payment systems.)
I haven't looked at the licenses for these systems for awhile -- does anyone know if
they have changed significantly enough to allow for the release of a module such as
this?
Enjoy,
