Mark,

In the FedEx.pm module you posted you changed the %Attributes hash, the keys 
orig_country, orig_zip, dest_country, dest_zip, packaging, This made it so 
existing code that uses FedEx.pm breaks. Also the %Packagings hash, I like 
how you kept the old package types and remapped them to the new codes,  I 
was thinking if you also added the new strings 'FedEx Box', 'Your 
Packaging', etc and map those to the appropriate code, new code could use 
the new definitions, and old code would still work as well.

As for fedex_query.tag, I couldn't get it to work on my box, I'm thinking 
the reason was one of the parameters changed as compared to the copy I use 
on my box. Every call I make to fedex_query is wrapped by a usertag that I 
wrote.  I found that FedEx website wasn't very reliable in the past and 
wouldn't return a shipping price in some cases, so I wrapped it up in code 
that defaults to using rate lookup tables if it can't get the price 
dynamically from FedEx.

I was able to get it working on my machine by using the old fedex_query.tag 
and replacing the string 'FedEx 2-Day' with 'FedEx 2Day', and changing the 
FedEx.pm module to use the old attributes, ie orig_country instead of 
origCountry.

I don't ship FedEx Ground, and Home so I didn't need to worry about changing 
the original fedex_query.tag to use the new FedEx.pm stuff you wrote.

Thanks for the code you posted, it was really helpful. I guess i'm just 
posting this to let you know I did have some problems with your code, but it 
was easily fixed to fit my situation.
