NAME
    NetSuite - A perl-based interface to the NetSuite SuiteTalk (Web
    Services) API

SYNOPSIS
        use NetSuite;
        use Data::Dumper;
      
    my $ns = NetSuite->new({
            EMAIL => 'email@example.com',
            PASSWORD => 'cpan4life',
            ROLE => 3, # denotes and Administrator role
            ACCOUNT => 12345678, # NetSuite account number
        });
        
    $ns->login or die "Can't connect to NetSuite!";
        $ns->get('customer', 1234);
        print Dumper($ns->getResults);
        $ns->logout;

DESCRIPTION
    NetSuite, Inc. is the leading provider of on-demand, integrated business
    management software for growing and midsize businesses. NetSuite's
    online products and professional services, companies are enabled to
    manage all key business operations — in a single hosted system,
    including: customer relationship management (CRM); order fulfillment;
    inventory; accounting and finance, product assembly; ecommerce; Web site
    management; and employee productivity.

    Along with this integrated suite, NetSuite offers direct access your
    company's database through a very complex web services in SOAP (Simple
    Object Access Protocol). This module is designed to allow Perl
    developers a way to quickly, easily, and efficiently communicate with
    this service.

    Please note that although this module greatly improves communication
    with NetSuite, it assumes you have a very good understanding of SOAP
    standards, and are capable of reading an understanding the WSDL (Web
    Service Definition Language) file for the service.

    For more information on SOAP or WSDL, visit:

    <http://www.w3.org/TR/soap/> <http://www.w3schools.com/soap/default.asp>

TODO
    There are several operations that are available through the web service
    that I have not yet implemented. At Catalina Lifesciences, we have never
    had a need for these components yet, but I have no problem implementing
    them if there is a demand. Please don't hesitate to send me an e-mail.

    addList updateList deleteList getList getAll getItemAvailability attach
    / detach changePasswordOrEmail getDeleted initialize / initializeList

    I also haven't delved into Asynchronous Request Processing, which would
    allow you to submit multiple requests to NetSuite, check the status of
    each request, and then once completed, receive the result(s). The
    methods to support these type of calls include:

    asyncAddList asyncUpdateList asyncDeleteList asyncGetList asyncSearch
    asyncInitializeList

    Again, if anyone finds themselves interested in these methods, let me
    know and I can work toward implementing them. I currently have no plan
    to.
