I'm new to Perl, any advice/suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the Monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl. The obvious suggestion is to begin by browsing the Getting Started with Perl category within the Tutorials section.

I have to integrate DHL services (e.g. shipment request) into a web application and I was wondering if anyone has experience with this?

I have no experience with DHL specifically. A quick search on https://metacpan.org/ brings up Net::Async::Webservice::DHL which sounds like it might be ideal but as I haven't used it this isn't a recommendation. It does use an event loop so maybe not the easiest module to use for a beginner in all honesty. Perhaps some other monk has experience with it and can comment further.

OTOH there are lots of general web service client modules on CPAN so you might want to start with one of those if Net::Async::Webservice::DHL proves too complex/unwieldy/out-of-date.

Good luck with your project.

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.


go ahead... be a heretic
