Shipping Calculator Help

I have an XML/PHP script to calculate shipping rates from UPS directly. I was wondering if anyone had one for USPS. Hotscripts has one for 50 bucks with no reviews so I am reluctant to go for that.

Can't you just use their XML interface? We have it implemented and are having no issues with it. Details are listed here.

I personally used Perl, but I can't believe that it'd be difficult with PHP (although I'm not very familiar with the language.)

I am using their manual and you have to use a test request first. I'm not too good with the XML parsing thing. I was trying to figure it out using the code I used to read what I got back from UPS using echos and things like that. It seems that all I get back is an array with the values HEAD and TITLE.
