We use datacash, but I also get a lot of outage notifications from them because something has broken. Fear companies who seem to have established and execute correctly their fault notification procedure. OTOH they do allow you do validate that the customers address is the cards registered address, and verify that the user has seen the card, wit the CVS number (or whatever it's called, the number that most cards now have printed on the back, but which in unrelated to the card number, and isn't stored on the mag stripe) the hatter

Search for "merchant account" on google and you'll find hundreds, if not thousands of companies that will handle your online payments, all for a fee, of course. And there's the rub. Typical charges are around 8%. You may get a lower rate, but with additional monthly charges, holdbacks, etc. In addition, you'll almost certainly be liable for fraudulent transactions of which there will be many (well, depending on what you're selling, I suppose).

[ANNOUNCE] Reminder: emergency pubmeet on Tuesday
Just a reminder that on Tuesday evening (21 May) we are going to check out a pub that Leo has suggested might be good for future social meets: the Glasshouse Stores in Brewer Street, very close to Piccadilly Circus tube. http://www.streetmap.co.uk/streetmap.dll?P2M?P=W1F9UJ&Z=1 It's a Samuel Smith's pub, like the Cittie of Yorke. Beer 1.60 a pint; they also do "proper food" rather than just snacky stuff. We will be there from 6:30pm.

Re: OT (yea right) - taking Credit card payment.
Worldpay offer a thing they call "select" where you redirect to their server and the customer does all the credit card stuff there. This means you have to worry less about security - see it in action at www.quietpc.com. They also have other ways to do it; you used to be able to upload CGI scripts to their server using their API, but I haven't looked at that for a long time. We also use datacash and it seems to work quite well - post the CC number, amount, etc., via https and they return "yes" or "no" with a transaction tracking number.

Glade
Does anyone else here actually use glade with perl?
I've been playing around with it for a bit and I've got myself really
confused. I can't really seem to make head nor tail of the code it spits
out. In the end I've resorted to extracting the code by hand from the
modules it produces and evaling it into my modules. Like so:
And does anyone know what _( ) is actually meant to do?
Example Code
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Gtk;
Gtk->init;
use Indico::Util::FileOpBag;
use File::Spec::Functions;
# okay we suck the generated source file in and extract the bit
# we actually care about
my $glade = slurpfile(catfile("src","ImageresizerUI.pm"));
$glade =~ s/^.*?Construct a GtkWindow 'mainwindow'//s;
$glade =~ s/Return the constructed UI.*?$//s;
$glade = 'local *main::_ = sub { return @_ }; ' . $glade;
# create the widgets
my $forms;
my $widgets;
eval $glade;
$@ and die "Problem: $@";
$widgets->{'mainwindow'}->show();
Gtk->main;

Tech meet followup
Since no-one else seems to have pointed it out (I could have missed
that post)...
Dave Cross and Leon both wrote journals about the meeting. These can be
found at:

Coo! use.perl.org has had over 5000 journal entries. Nifty.
