I agree with shotgunfx, validate the charge versus the price. i.e. use Digest::MD5 to create a hash with the price, the product description, and, if you can, a "secret" string known only to you/your server. Then, when you receive the token from your credit card processor, create the hash from their data and compare. If they don't match, then someone may have tampered with the charge amount, trying to get something for nothing.

Also, check out PerlShop, which is a Perl shopping cart, and take a look at their features and code for more ideas to add to your list.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
