Business::MaxMind::CreditCardFraudDetection - Access MaxMind minFraud services

This module queries the MaxMind minFraud service and returns the results. The service uses a free e-mail database, an IP address geography database, a bank identification number, and proxy checks to return a risk factor score representing the likelihood that the credit card transaction is fraudulent.

This example queries the minFraud service and displays the results:

  my $ccfs =
    Business::MaxMind::CreditCardFraudDetection->new(
                                                      isSecure => 1,

  $ccfs->input(
