in thread Business::WorldPay::Junior and last release date
Hi Gavin,
I would suggest to contact the author. Maybe the module is now available in version 2.0 or it is available for free now.
If you cannot contact the author/maintainer, I would seach in Google for that module. Maybe, you can find useful hints there.

Thanks Renne.
I e-mailed him just after my initial post. I'll reply with a summary.
Are you, or anyone else aware of any similar "Charge for" CPAN module? I have not seen this before.

The CPAN module is free, but the newer version (which is not on CPAN) seems not.Once you put something on CPAN it is up for grabs although technically and legally you could insist on a licence more restrictive than the usual ones. How you would be able to enforce that is something else of course. Since CPAN is all source-code, any "clever" locks made by the author could be unlocked by an other Perl-coder.

Gavin,
As I no longer use WorldPay I am not actively maintaining the module
however it does still work.
The charge was only ever levied for downloads direct from my website and
nobody ever paid it as the module is available from CPAN without charge.
Somebody did suggest he was going to patch the module to support
postgresql however he never did so.
As I don't use postgresql I haven't done the job either. The code isn't
obtuse so you should be able to make the changes yourself if you wish to.
