I am usually in favour of picking up and improving existing modules. We have too many unmaintained modules on CPAN. If after a while you really feel the existing module cannot answer the needs, then create a new one. Having a Common Payment Interface sound really nice. Can it be done? What about Maybe Business::CPI ? Gabor (current non-maintainer of Business::PayPal)
