[thelist] Basic e-commerce

[Octavian Râsnita]

What language you want to write your app in? And are you interested to learn 
how the payment works, or how a full shopping cart with payment works?

You can get the source code or just read the POD documentation from 
Business::PayPal:
http://search.cpan.org/~phred/Business-PayPal-0.03/PayPal.pm

or read about a full shopping cart (Mango) at:
http://search.cpan.org/~claco/Mango-0.01000_13/lib/Mango.pm

or search search.cpan.org for "shopping", "PayPal" or other things that 
interest you.

You may port the things you will read from the POD documentation of those 
perl modules in other languages also.
