I'd like to try the Google shopping cart in my sandbox.  Is there an
html sample with an "add to cart" and "checkout" button along with a
sample perl script that I could just upload to my service provider
(unix) and play with?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

I think you may be interested in checking out our sample code and
client libraries particularly for Perl.

Found here: http://code.google.com/p/google-checkout-perl-sample-code/

Thanks,
Adam

Anyhow, Richard, if you attempt to use the perl modules be sure to  
check the list archives

http://groups.google.com/group/google-checkout-api-perl/topics

for bugs, since not all have been reported into the code.Google.com  
project.

Thanks Jerry and Adam, those are what I was looking for, although
maybe not the solution I was looking for :)

My site is hosted on one of Network Solutions Unix servers. I generate
web pages using software I wrote locally, then upload static pages to
the site, namely http://www.plantsthatproduce.com/products/.  Naively,
I am hoping that I could
(1) add "add-to-cart" buttons to my product pages
(2) put some ready-made software in cgi-bin (o.k., maybe I need to
change the merchant information)
and have a working shopping cart for my customers, that among other
things helps me with the freight-calculation problem.

Where might I find such solutions?

Thanks as always,
Richard

Hey, thanks again for those that responded here or by email.  I
managed to put together a level 1 XML integration which is working
fine.  I stumbled a bit on getting HMAC_SHA1 to work since my hosting
service does not have the library.  In the end I downloaded the CPAN
library files HMAC.pm and HMAC_SHA1.pm and replaced the "use"
statements in my shopping cart and in HMAC_SHA1 to "require".
