VERSION

version 0.991

SYNOPSIS

        # Build Client instance
        my $client = Net::Amazon::S3::Client->new (
                # accepts all Net::Amazon::S3's arguments
                aws_access_key_id     => $aws_access_key_id,
                aws_secret_access_key => $aws_secret_access_key,
                retry                 => 1,
        );

        # or reuse an existing S3 connection
        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-east-1',
        );

        # 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.

CONSTRUCTOR

s3

Net::Amazon::S3 instance

error_handler_class

Error handler class name (package name), see Net::Amazon::S3::Error::Handler for more. Overrides one available in s3.

Default: Net::Amazon::S3::Error::Handler::Confess

error_handler

Instance of error handler class.

METHODS

new

Net::Amazon::S3::Client can be constructed two ways.

Historically it wraps S3 API instance

        use Net::Amazon::S3::Client;

        my $client = Net::Amazon::S3::Client->new (
                s3 => .... # Net::Amazon::S3 instance
        );

new (since v0.92)

Since v0.92 explicit creation of S3 API instance is no longer necessary. Net::Amazon::S3::Client's constructor accepts same parameters as Net::Amazon::S3

        use Net::Amazon::S3::Client v0.92;

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

buckets

  # 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_bucket

  # 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-east-1',
  );

bucket

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

bucket_class

  # returns string "Net::Amazon::S3::Client::Bucket"
  # subclasses will want to override this.
  my $bucket_class = $client->bucket_class
