Net::TCLink v3.2.5 Perl Implementation copyright (C) TrustCommerce 2001 http://www.trustcommerce.com developer@trustcommerce.com October 23, 2001 I. DESCRIPTION Net::TCLink is a thin client library to allow your e-commerce servers to connect to the TrustCommerce payment gateway easily and consistently. The protocol (which is the same across all platforms and languages) is well-documented in the Web Developer's Guide, so please consult it for any questions you may have about the protocol syntax itself. If you are using Perl or ActivePerl on Win32, please download the COM object from the Vault website. II. INSTALLATION You will need the OpenSSL libraries and header files installed on your system to compile Net::TCLink. You can download them from http://www.openssl.org. Many modern UNIX systems (including Red Hat Linux 7.0 and above) come with the OpenSSL libraries pre-installed. The installation should need only the following steps. $ perl Makefile.PL $ make $ make install III. USAGE The included perl script 'test.pl' shows how easy it is to use the Net::TCLink Perl module. The Net::TCLink is very easy to use. It consists of a single function call "send()" that take a hash or a hash reference as it's only parameter. The hash must contain name/value pairs required to run transactions through the TrustCommerce gateway. The return value is a hash of values describing the status of the transaction. Please refer to the TCDevGuide.txt or TCDevGuide.html in the doc folder for more information.
