DESCRIPTION
This module provides a Perlish interface to Amazon S3. From the developer blurb: "Amazon
S3 is storage for the Internet. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for
developers. Amazon S3 provides a simple web services interface that can be used to store
and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. It gives any
developer access to the same highly scalable, reliable, fast, inexpensive data storage
infrastructure that Amazon uses to run its own global network of web sites. The service
aims to maximize benefits of scale and to pass those benefits on to developers".
To find out more about S3, please visit: http://s3.amazonaws.com/
To use this module you will need to sign up to Amazon Web Services and provide an "Access
Key ID" and " Secret Access Key". If you use this module, you will incurr costs as
specified by Amazon. Please check the costs. If you use this module with your Access Key
ID and Secret Access Key you must be responsible for these costs.
I highly recommend reading all about S3, but in a nutshell data is stored in values.
Values are referenced by keys, and keys are stored in buckets. Bucket names are global.
Note: This is the legacy interface, please check out Net::Amazon::S3::Client instead.
Development of this code happens here: http://github.com/pfig/net-amazon-s3/
Homepage for the project (just started) is at http://pfig.github.com/net-amazon-s3/
METHODS
new
Create a new S3 client object. Takes some arguments:
aws_access_key_id
Use your Access Key ID as the value of the AWSAccessKeyId parameter in requests you
send to Amazon Web Services (when required). Your Access Key ID identifies you as the
party responsible for the request.
aws_secret_access_key
Since your Access Key ID is not encrypted in requests to AWS, it could be discovered
and used by anyone. Services that are not free require you to provide additional
information, a request signature, to verify that a request containing your unique
Access Key ID could only have come from you.
DO NOT INCLUDE THIS IN SCRIPTS OR APPLICATIONS YOU DISTRIBUTE. YOU'LL BE SORRY
aws_session_token
If you are using temporary credentials provided by the AWS Security Token Service, set
the token here, and it will be added to the request in order to authenticate it.
use_iam_role
If you'd like to use IAM provided temporary credentials, pass this option with a true
value.
secure
Set this to 1 if you want to use SSL-encrypted connections when talking to S3.
Defaults to 0.
timeout
How many seconds should your script wait before bailing on a request to S3? Defaults
to 30.
retry
If this library should retry upon errors. This option is recommended. This uses
exponential backoff with retries after 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 seconds, as recommended by
Amazon. Defaults to off.
host
The S3 host endpoint to use. Defaults to 's3.amazonaws.com'. This allows you to
connect to any S3-compatible host.
buckets
Returns undef on error, else hashref of results
add_bucket
Takes a hashref:
bucket
The name of the bucket you want to add
acl_short (optional)
See the set_acl subroutine for documenation on the acl_short options
location_constraint (option)
Sets the location constraint of the new bucket. If left unspecified, the default S3
datacenter location will be used. Otherwise, you can set it to 'EU' for a European
data center - note that costs are different.
Returns 0 on failure, Net::Amazon::S3::Bucket object on success
bucket BUCKET
Takes a scalar argument, the name of the bucket you're creating
Returns an (unverified) bucket object from an account. Does no network access.
delete_bucket
Takes either a Net::Amazon::S3::Bucket object or a hashref containing
bucket
The name of the bucket to remove
Returns false (and fails) if the bucket isn't empty.
Returns true if the bucket is successfully deleted.
list_bucket
List all keys in this bucket.
Takes a hashref of arguments:
MANDATORY
bucket
The name of the bucket you want to list keys on
OPTIONAL
prefix
Restricts the response to only contain results that begin with the specified prefix.
If you omit this optional argument, the value of prefix for your query will be the
empty string. In other words, the results will be not be restricted by prefix.
delimiter
If this optional, Unicode string parameter is included with your request, then keys
that contain the same string between the prefix and the first occurrence of the
delimiter will be rolled up into a single result element in the CommonPrefixes
collection. These rolled-up keys are not returned elsewhere in the response. For
example, with prefix="USA/" and delimiter="/", the matching keys "USA/Oregon/Salem"
and "USA/Oregon/Portland" would be summarized in the response as a single "USA/Oregon"
element in the CommonPrefixes collection. If an otherwise matching key does not
contain the delimiter after the prefix, it appears in the Contents collection.
Each element in the CommonPrefixes collection counts as one against the MaxKeys limit.
The rolled-up keys represented by each CommonPrefixes element do not. If the
Delimiter parameter is not present in your request, keys in the result set will not be
rolled-up and neither the CommonPrefixes collection nor the NextMarker element will be
present in the response.
max-keys
This optional argument limits the number of results returned in response to your
query. Amazon S3 will return no more than this number of results, but possibly less.
Even if max-keys is not specified, Amazon S3 will limit the number of results in the
response. Check the IsTruncated flag to see if your results are incomplete. If so,
use the Marker parameter to request the next page of results. For the purpose of
counting max-keys, a 'result' is either a key in the 'Contents' collection, or a
delimited prefix in the 'CommonPrefixes' collection. So for delimiter requests, max-
keys limits the total number of list results, not just the number of keys.
marker
This optional parameter enables pagination of large result sets. "marker" specifies
where in the result set to resume listing. It restricts the response to only contain
results that occur alphabetically after the value of marker. To retrieve the next page
of results, use the last key from the current page of results as the marker in your
next request.
See also "next_marker", below.
If "marker" is omitted,the first page of results is returned.
Returns undef on error and a hashref of data on success:
The hashref looks like this:
{
bucket => $bucket_name,
prefix => $bucket_prefix,
common_prefixes => [$prefix1,$prefix2,...]
marker => $bucket_marker,
next_marker => $bucket_next_available_marker,
max_keys => $bucket_max_keys,
is_truncated => $bucket_is_truncated_boolean
keys => [$key1,$key2,...]
}
Explanation of bits of that:
common_prefixes
If list_bucket was requested with a delimiter, common_prefixes will contain a list of
prefixes matching that delimiter. Drill down into these prefixes by making another
request with the prefix parameter.
is_truncated
B flag that indicates whether or not all results of your query were returned in this
response. If your results were truncated, you can make a follow-up paginated request
using the Marker parameter to retrieve the rest of the results.
next_marker
A convenience element, useful when paginating with delimiters. The value of
"next_marker", if present, is the largest (alphabetically) of all key names and all
CommonPrefixes prefixes in the response. If the "is_truncated" flag is set, request
the next page of results by setting "marker" to the value of "next_marker". This
element is only present in the response if the "delimiter" parameter was sent with the
request.
Each key is a hashref that looks like this:
{
key => $key,
last_modified => $last_mod_date,
etag => $etag, # An MD5 sum of the stored content.
size => $size, # Bytes
storage_class => $storage_class # Doc?
owner_id => $owner_id,
owner_displayname => $owner_name
}
list_bucket_all
List all keys in this bucket without having to worry about 'marker'. This is a convenience
method, but may make multiple requests to S3 under the hood.
Takes the same arguments as list_bucket.

TESTING
Testing S3 is a tricky thing. Amazon wants to charge you a bit of money each time you use
their service. And yes, testing counts as using. Because of this, the application's test
suite skips anything approaching a real test unless you set these three environment
variables:
AMAZON_S3_EXPENSIVE_TESTS
Doesn't matter what you set it to. Just has to be set
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
Your AWS access key
AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET
Your AWS sekkr1t passkey. Be forewarned that setting this environment variable on a
shared system might leak that information to another user. Be careful.
