+<DL>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_new">new HASHREF</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Creates a new customer. To add the customer to the database, see <A HREF="#insert">insert</A>.
+<P>Note that this stores the hash reference, not a distinct copy of the hash it
+points to. You can ask the object for a copy with the <EM>hash</EM> method.</P>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_insert">insert</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Adds this customer to the database. If there is an error, returns the error,
+otherwise returns false.
+<P>There is a special insert mode in which you pass a data structure to the insert
+method containing FS::cust_pkg and FS::svc_<EM>tablename</EM> objects. When
+running under a transactional database, all records are inserted atomicly, or
+the transaction is rolled back. There should be a better explanation of this,
+but until then, here's an example:</P>
+<PRE>
+ use Tie::RefHash;
+ tie %hash, 'Tie::RefHash'; #this part is important
+ %hash = (
+ $cust_pkg => [ $svc_acct ],
+ ...
+ );
+ $cust_main->insert( \%hash );</PRE>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_delete_NEW_CUSTNUM">delete NEW_CUSTNUM</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+This deletes the customer. If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise
+returns false.
+<P>This will completely remove all traces of the customer record. This is not
+what you want when a customer cancels service; for that, cancel all of the
+customer's packages (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_pkg.html#cancel">cancel in the FS::cust_pkg manpage</A>).</P>
+<P>If the customer has any packages, you need to pass a new (valid) customer
+number for those packages to be transferred to.</P>
+<P>You can't delete a customer with invoices (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_bill.html">the FS::cust_bill manpage</A>),
+or credits (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_credit.html">the FS::cust_credit manpage</A>).</P>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_replace_OLD_RECORD">replace OLD_RECORD</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Replaces the OLD_RECORD with this one in the database. If there is an error,
+returns the error, otherwise returns false.
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_check">check</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Checks all fields to make sure this is a valid customer record. If there is
+an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false. Called by the insert
+and repalce methods.
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_all_pkgs">all_pkgs</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Returns all packages (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_pkg.html">the FS::cust_pkg manpage</A>) for this customer.
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_ncancelled_pkgs">ncancelled_pkgs</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Returns all non-cancelled packages (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_pkg.html">the FS::cust_pkg manpage</A>) for this customer.
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_bill">bill OPTIONS</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Generates invoices (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_bill.html">the FS::cust_bill manpage</A>) for this customer. Usually used in
+conjunction with the collect method.
+<P>The only currently available option is `time', which bills the customer as if
+it were that time. It is specified as a UNIX timestamp; see
+<EM>perlfunc/``time''</EM>). Also see <A HREF="../Time/Local.html">the Time::Local manpage</A> and <A HREF="../Date/Parse.html">the Date::Parse manpage</A> for conversion
+functions.</P>
+<P>If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.</P>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_collect">collect OPTIONS</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+(Attempt to) collect money for this customer's outstanding invoices (see
+<A HREF=".././FS/cust_bill.html">the FS::cust_bill manpage</A>). Usually used after the bill method.
+<P>Depending on the value of `payby', this may print an invoice (`BILL'), charge
+a credit card (`CARD'), or just add any necessary (pseudo-)payment (`COMP').</P>
+<P>If there is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.</P>
+<P>Currently available options are:</P>
+<P>invoice_time - Use this time when deciding when to print invoices and
+late notices on those invoices. The default is now. It is specified as a UNIX timestamp; see <EM>perlfunc/``time''</EM>). Also see <A HREF="../Time/Local.html">the Time::Local manpage</A> and <A HREF="../Date/Parse.html">the Date::Parse manpage</A>
+for conversion functions.</P>
+<P>batch_card - Set this true to batch cards (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_pay_batch.html">the cust_pay_batch manpage</A>). By
+default, cards are processed immediately, which will generate an error if
+CyberCash is not installed.</P>
+<P>report_badcard - Set this true if you want bad card transactions to
+return an error. By default, they don't.</P>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_total_owed">total_owed</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Returns the total owed for this customer on all invoices
+(see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_bill.html">the FS::cust_bill manpage</A>).
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_total_credited">total_credited</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Returns the total credits (see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_credit.html">the FS::cust_credit manpage</A>) for this customer.
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_balance">balance</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Returns the balance for this customer (total owed minus total credited).
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_invoicing_list_%5B_ARRAYREF_%5D">invoicing_list [ ARRAYREF ]</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+If an arguement is given, sets these email addresses as invoice recipients
+(see <A HREF=".././FS/cust_main_invoice.html">the FS::cust_main_invoice manpage</A>). Errors are not fatal and are not reported
+(except as warnings), so use check_invoicing_list first.
+<P>Returns a list of email addresses (with svcnum entries expanded).</P>
+<P>Note: You can clear the invoicing list by passing an empty ARRAYREF. You can
+check it without disturbing anything by passing nothing.</P>
+<P>This interface may change in the future.</P>
+<P></P>
+<DT><STRONG><A NAME="item_check_invoicing_list_ARRAYREF">check_invoicing_list ARRAYREF</A></STRONG><BR>
+<DD>
+Checks these arguements as valid input for the invoicing_list method. If there
+is an error, returns the error, otherwise returns false.

+<P>The delete method.</P>
+<P>The delete method should possibly take an FS::cust_main object reference
+instead of a scalar customer number.</P>
+<P>Bill and collect options should probably be passed as references instead of a
+list.</P>
+<P>CyberCash v2 forces us to define some variables in package main.</P>
+<P>There should probably be a configuration file with a list of allowed credit
+card types.</P>
+<P>CyberCash is the only processor.</P>
+<P>No multiple currency support (probably a larger project than just this module).</P>
