Encoding card number?

Hi. I'm looking at using the Business::OnlinePayment::AuthorizeNet perl module, which can be seen here: http://search.cpan.org/...3.13/AuthorizeNet.pm

This will need to be run via a SSL server, but do I need to actually do any encoding of the card myself? base_64 maybe?

Cheers

Also, has anyone had any experience with Business::WorldPay::Junior?

I'm simply trying to send a payment to them, and then get a payment notification via email to go out to the client who made the purchase (and the admin). I'm not worried about IPN stuff, as I just want to get a basic purchase script working with them :)

TIA

Hey Andy,

Last time I worked with Authorize.net you didn't need to do anything special to the card number above and beyond SSL. I was reading through their API about a month ago and it doesn't look like It's changed either.
