Custom Shipping Script by weight for my shopping cart
I am trying to write a custom shipping by weight script for my shopping cart. However, the script is not working correctly. It is calling the Shipping Method 1 when and item is 1lb or under. It is calling Shipping Method 2 when the order is 1.1lbs to 3 lbs. and it is calling the Shipping Method 3 when the order is over 3 lbs. This is not what I want at all.
Here's a breakdown of what I'm looking to do:
1. If the customer orders anything from 0.1 lbs to 5 lbs I want the shipping to be $3.50/lb
2. If the customer orders anything from 5.1 lbs to 10 lbs I want the shipping to be $2.75/lb.
3. If the customer orders anything from 10.1 lbs to 20 lbs I want the shipping to be $2.15/lb.
4. If the customer orders anything from 20.1 lbs and up I want the shipping to be $1.75/lb.
5. Anything with no weight, would be free shipping.
6. All Shipping methods should be displayed as FedEx Standard Overnight
I thought I had incorporated if and elsif statements to the attached code, perhaps I didn't do it correctly. I am not the most skilled PERL writer so I believe I probably forgot some things as far as creating variables. I greatly appreciate any assistance in this issue.

Sorry - you should change the 4 or the 5 in the if statement so they match up depending on where you want the first boundary.

Works like a charm! Thank you. I knew I was making it more complicated than it really was.
No problem and thanks for the points - I'm sure you would have cracked it but sometimes a fresh look at something makes all the difference.
