Have a look around your local CPAN site. From what I recall, there are plenty of modules for checking CC numbers, etc. I don't know about actually processing the transactions, though. Guess you'd need to set up an account with a CC clearing house.<br>

There are some companies around that supply suites of perl scripts for doing CC transactions, and act as a broker for clearing CC transactions. Sorry, but I can't recall any at the moment.

Are you talking about full processing - that is, checking for card validity? If so, you definitely need a credit card clearing house. If not, that is, the site owner will provide validation, then you would probably write the information to a file on the server.<br>

In any case, there are free programs on the web for shopping, such as Matt's Script Archive ( Some hosts provide them, also.
