Hi, First, thanks for taking the time to write WebService::Shippo! It's sure to save us buckets of time. I am setting up and starting to use your module and ran into an issue. The main issue appears to be due to using the module via a web script (using WAMP). Here are the details. Name and ver: WebService-Shippo-0.0.21 Perl ver: This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread O/S: Windows 8.1 64-bit Error message: [Thu Jan 14 12:31:25.583697 2016] [cgi:error] [pid 5432:tid 1680] [client 127.0.0.1:64943] AH01215: Can't call method "file" on an undefined value at c:/perl64/site/lib/WebService/Shippo/Config.pm line 15.\r What's happening within "Config.pm" in my case is it's attempting to call "File::HomeDir->my_home" but getting undef which in turn causes "Path::Class::Dir->new()" to return undef hence the error in the Apache log. Note, this issue does not occur on our Linux server; "File::HomeDir->my_home" returns "/var/www" on that machine. I was able to fix this by changing that call to EG: Path::Class::Dir->new((defined File::HomeDir->my_home ? File::HomeDir->my_home : ''))->file( '.shipporc' )->stringify, But I suspect you will have a better method. Thanks again.

Hey Stuart, Just rescued this email in my Junk Mail folder and I've just started a new job, so please accept my apologies for the slightly tardy response. I do have another release for this library due out imminently now that I'm starting to get some spare mental bandwidth to work on it. I'll give some thought to how to work around this specific issue more elegantly. If you have a suggestion for how you as a Windows user might prefer to see a solution implemented, feel free to chime in (cpanic@cpan.org). I don't have a Windows environment in which to do testing, so I'll ping you a candidate distribution directly (if you wish) for you to test before I chuck it onto CPAN. Let me know. There are probably some changes to the Shippo API that need to be rolled into this next release, too. I'll try to get them in quickly. Best, Iain.
