calculate USPS rates

Has anyone seen a decent script for getting USPS rates live in your own
shopping cart?

I think you can grab a database from USPS and keep it local. These rates
don't change much, so getting it "live" from USPS at runtime probably isn't
very optimal.

USPS has an API that you can download that gives you access through XML,
along with samples. Don't remember where it is, but start at www.usps.gov,
and work from there.
