Shipment::FedEx - Interface to FedEx Shipping Web Services
ABOUT
This class provides an interface to the FedEx Web Services for Shipping.
For code examples, see https://github.com/pullingshots/Shipment/tree/master/eg
You must sign up for a developer test key in order to make use of this module.
https://www.fedex.com/wpor/web/jsp/drclinks.jsp?links=techresources/index.html
See related modules for documentation on options and how to access rates and labels:
Shipment::Base - common attributes and methods for all interfaces
Shipment::Address - define an from or to address
Shipment::Package - define package details, weight, dimensions, etc
Shipment::Service - access information about a service, rate, etd, etc
Shipment::Label - access the label file
It makes extensive use of SOAP::WSDL in order to create/decode xml requests and responses. The Shipment::FedEx::WSDL interface was created primarily using the wsdl2perl.pl script from SOAP::WSDL.

Class Methods
_build_services
This calls getRates from the Rate Services API
Each Service that is returned is added to services
The following service mapping is used: * ground => FEDEX_GROUND or GROUND_HOME_DELIVERY or INTERNATIONAL_GROUND * express => FEDEX_2_DAY or INTERNATIONAL_ECONOMY * priority => PRIORITY_OVERNIGHT or INTERNATIONAL_PRIORITY
This method ignores what is in $self->packages and uses a single package weighing 1 pound for rating. The idea is to list what services are available, but for accurate rate comparisons, the rate method should be used.
rate
This calls getRates from the Rate Services API
ship
This method calls processShipment from the Ship Services API
cancel
This method calls deleteShipment from the Ship Services API
If the tracking id is greater than 12 digits, it assumes that it is a Ground shipment.
Currently only supports deleting one package (tracking id) at a time - DeletionControl = 'DELETE_ONE_PACKAGE'
returns "SUCCESS" if successful
track
This method calls track from the Tracking Services API
Currently only supports tracking using a valid tracking number: Type => 'TRACKING_NUMBER_OR_DOORTAG'
Result is added to $self->activities, accessible using $self->status
Also sets $self->ship_date
end_of_day
This method calls groundClose from the Close Services API
The manifest is a plain text file intended to be printed off on standard letter paper
