Interchange is more of a development platform for Perl
(Access/Filemaker-ish) with an e-commerce framework wrapped around it.  Out
of the box it does e-commerce fairly well.  You can extend it (like
anything) to do pretty much what you want; but if turn key is what you are
after; Interchange isn't it.  It is fairly powerful if you work within its
conventions (think RoR), and I have seen some neat sites deployed quickly on
top of it.

Last I knew it did not have any sort of POS front end included.
