NAME

       Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue - OO API for representing queues from the Amazon Simple Queue
       Service.

SYNOPSIS

           use Amazon::SQS::Simple;

           my $access_key = 'foo'; # Your AWS Access Key ID
           my $secret_key = 'bar'; # Your AWS Secret Key

           my $sqs = new Amazon::SQS::Simple($access_key, $secret_key);

           my $q = $sqs->CreateQueue('queue_name');

           # Single messages

           my $response = $q->SendMessage('Hello world!');
           my $msg = $q->ReceiveMessage;
           print $msg->MessageBody; # Hello world!
           $q->DeleteMessage($msg);
           # or, for backward compatibility
           $q->DeleteMessage($msg->ReceiptHandle);

           # Batch messaging of up to 10 messages per operation

           my @responses = $q->SendMessageBatch( [ 'Hello world!', 'Hello again!' ] );
           # or with defined message IDs
           $q->SendMessageBatch( { msg1 => 'Hello world!', msg2 => 'Hello again!' } );
           my @messages = $q->ReceiveMessageBatch;
           $q->DeleteMessageBatch( \@messages );

INTRODUCTION

       Don't instantiate this class directly. Objects of this class are returned by various
       methods in "Amazon::SQS::Simple". See Amazon::SQS::Simple for more details.

METHODS

       Endpoint()
         Get the endpoint for the queue.

       Delete([%opts])
         Deletes the queue. Any messages contained in the queue will be lost.

       SendMessage($message, [%opts])
         Sends the message. The message can be up to 8KB in size and should be plain text.

       SendMessageBatch($messages, [%opts])
         Sends a batch of up to 10 messages, passed as an array-ref.  Message IDs (of the style
         'msg_1', 'msg_2', etc) are auto-generated for each message.  Alternatively, if you need
         to specify the format of the message ID then you can pass a hash-ref {$id1 => $message1,
         etc}

       ReceiveMessage([%opts])
         Get the next message from the queue.

         Returns one or more "Amazon::SQS::Simple::Message" objects (depending on whether called
         in list or scalar context), or undef if no messages are retrieved.

         NOTE: This behaviour has changed slightly since v1.06. It now always returns the first
         message in scalar context, irrespective of how many there are.

         See Amazon::SQS::Simple::Message for more details.

         Options for ReceiveMessage:

         •   MaxNumberOfMessages => INTEGER

             Maximum number of messages to return (integer from 1 to 20). SQS never returns more
             messages than this value but might return fewer. Not necessarily all the messages in
             the queue are returned. Defaults to 1.

         •   WaitTimeSeconds => INTEGER

             Long poll support (integer from 0 to 20). The duration (in seconds) that the
             ReceiveMessage action call will wait until a message is in the queue to include in
             the response, as opposed to returning an empty response if a message is not yet
             available.

             If you do not specify WaitTimeSeconds in the request, the queue attribute
             ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds is used to determine how long to wait.

         •   VisibilityTimeout => INTEGER

             The duration in seconds (integer from 0 to 43200) that the received messages are
             hidden from subsequent retrieve requests after being retrieved by a ReceiveMessage
             request.

             If you do not specify VisibilityTimeout in the request, the queue attribute
             VisibilityTimeout is used to determine how long to wait.

       ReceiveMessageBatch([%opts])
         As ReceiveMessage(MaxNumberOfMessages => 10)

       DeleteMessage($message, [%opts])
         Pass this method either a message object or receipt handle to delete that message from
         the queue.  For backward compatibility, can pass the message ReceiptHandle rather than
         the message.

       DeleteMessageBatch($messages, [%opts])
         Pass this method an array-ref containing up to 10 message objects to delete all of those
         messages from the queue

       ChangeMessageVisibility($receipt_handle, $timeout, [%opts])
         NOT SUPPORTED IN APIs EARLIER THAN 2009-01-01

         Changes the visibility of the message with the specified receipt handle to $timeout
         seconds. $timeout must be in the range 0..43200.

       AddPermission($label, $account_actions, [%opts])
         NOT SUPPORTED IN APIs EARLIER THAN 2009-01-01

         Sets a permissions policy with the specified label. $account_actions is a reference to a
         hash mapping 12-digit AWS account numbers to the action(s) you want to permit for those
         account IDs. The hash value for each key can be a string (e.g. "ReceiveMessage") or a
         reference to an array of strings (e.g. ["ReceiveMessage", "DeleteMessage"])

       RemovePermission($label, [%opts])
         NOT SUPPORTED IN APIs EARLIER THAN 2009-01-01

         Removes the permissions policy with the specified label.

       GetAttributes([%opts])
         Get the attributes for the queue. Returns a reference to a hash mapping attribute names
         to their values. Currently the following attribute names are returned:

         •   VisibilityTimeout

         •   ApproximateNumberOfMessages

       SetAttribute($attribute_name, $attribute_value, [%opts])
         Sets the value for a queue attribute. Currently the only valid attribute name is
         "VisibilityTimeout".
