Net::Amazon::Request - Baseclass for requests to Amazon's web service
my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::XXX->new( [ type => 'heavy', ] [ page => $start_page, ] [ mode => $mode, ] [ sort => $sort_type, ] );
Don't use this class directly, use derived classes (like Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN, Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist etc.) instead to specify the type of request and its parameters.
Net::Amazon::Request::ASIN
Net::Amazon::Request::Wishlist
However, there's a bunch of parameters to the constructor that all request types have in common, here they are:
