This is actually just a wrapper for the LinkPoint API. You will need to d/l that and install it first. The Makefile.PL contains these lines: my $csi = "/usr/local/csi"; my $csi_inc = "$csi/src"; my $csi_lib = "$csi/lib"; The simplest way to install Business::CSI is to simply put the LinkPoint API /usr/local/csi. Then you can use 'perl -MCPAN -e 'install Business::CSI' without haveing to edit the Makefile.PL. I briefly considered doing an auto search for it, but it would have been a total hack. It may not have worked 100% correctly on all systems. It could therefore distroy the universe. So I elected not to. -- Someone recently asked my why I didn't use Business::OnlinePayment. I didn't feel like the extreemly simple interface I had in mind was completely compatable with Bu::OnPa. Maybe later I will go back and use it. For now, this package is simple to the point of being single minded.
