NAME

Net::Amazon::S3::Client - An easy-to-use Amazon S3 client

SYNOPSIS

my $s3 = Net::Amazon::S3->new(
  aws_access_key_id     => $aws_access_key_id,
  aws_secret_access_key => $aws_secret_access_key,
  retry                 => 1,
);
my $client = Net::Amazon::S3::Client->new( s3 => $s3 );

# list all my buckets
# returns a list of L<Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Bucket> objects
my @buckets = $client->buckets;
foreach my $bucket (@buckets) {
  print $bucket->name . "\n";
}

# create a new bucket
# returns a L<Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Bucket> object
my $bucket = $client->create_bucket(
  name                => $bucket_name,
  acl_short           => 'private',
  location_constraint => 'US',
);

# or use an existing bucket
# returns a L<Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Bucket> object
my $bucket = $client->bucket( name => $bucket_name );

DESCRIPTION

The Net::Amazon::S3 module was written when the Amazon S3 service had just come out and it is a light wrapper around the APIs. Some bad API decisions were also made. The Net::Amazon::S3::Client, Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Bucket and Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Object classes are designed after years of usage to be easy to use for common tasks.

These classes throw an exception when a fatal error occurs. It also is very careful to pass an MD5 of the content when uploaded to S3 and check the resultant ETag.

WARNING: This is an early release of the Client classes, the APIs may change.
