I am announcing a new perl module that I wrote, called Net::eBay. This
module provides support for communicating with the eBay API via XML.

It allows to list items for sale, search, revise, and do many other
things without wasting time 'scraping' HTML. Bidding is NOT supported
by eBay itself.

The module is available on CPAN. Just search for Net::eBay.

To use it, you need to obtain access keys from ebay. You have to
register at developer.ebay.com and obtain developer keys. Then you can
use their tokentool and obtain a "token".

Save that to your ~/.ebay.ini (details at perldoc Net::eBay). Call
ebay-validate-test-user.pl to validate your token. Then, start writing
your perl scripts using this API.

When your scripts begin to work, you can obtain a set of production
keys also, by "self certification", which is a trivial process (no
kidding).

Thanks to many posters including John Bokma, who made useful
suggestions.

Your announcing a module that you only want people to know about for
one week? Doesn't that strike you as a tad odd?

Please reconsider your position on setting the X-No-Archive header.
Posts should remain searchable for future people looking for
information.

oops, you are right. I will repost.

This OP has been asked that before, it doesn't look like he
wants to be a good citizen...
