Perl function for calculating pricing?



******    message to minivend-users from "Alan Sparks" <asparks@nss.harris.com>     ******

I'm coming up fast on deadline, and still can't understand how to do this.
Would appreciate _any_ thoughts.

I have a pricing structure here that essentially requires me to calculate
pricing on items as follows:

price = ((int(quantity / unitspercarton)) * cartonunitprice) + ((quantity
mod unitspercarton) * unitprice)

This looks way outside of anything standard for MiniVend.  It seems logical
to write the equation as a Perl function and have MiniVend call it.  BUT
HOW?

I've been rereading the manuals but I can't find any mention how to do this.
The closest seems CommonAdjust, but it doesn't feel right.  And I can't get
it to call a catalog sub (seems like I get a lot of Safe errors in the log
that I can't understand).

Has anyone any hints they can give?  Lots of thanks in advance.
-Alan
