You need to use one of the paypal APIs, there are a number listed on CPAN but I have never used any of them and I don't want to figure it out.

As far as my quick CPAN search goes, there's pretty much just Business::PayPal (http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Business::PayPal) module. Try to explore it.

Yea, Business::PayPal is the main class for all or nearly all of the paypal sub classes, of which there are a number. But a person can use the sandbox to mess around with APIs and the paypal website to get things right before going live. Its really not for a beginner s though and maybe even intermediate perl programmers will find it difficult at first. Might be best to hire a person already well familiar with how to set it all up if he/she really wants to use perl.
