NAME

       Amazon::SQS::Simple - OO API for accessing 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

           # Create an SQS object
           my $sqs = new Amazon::SQS::Simple($access_key, $secret_key);

           # Create a new queue
           my $q = $sqs->CreateQueue('queue_name');

           # Send a message
           my $response = $q->SendMessage('Hello world!');

               # Send multiple messages
               my @responses = $q->SendMessageBatch(['Hello world', 'Farewell cruel world']);

           # Retrieve a message
           my $msg = $q->ReceiveMessage();
           print $msg->MessageBody() # Hello world!

           # Delete the message
           $q->DeleteMessage($msg->ReceiptHandle());
               # or
               $q->DeleteMessage($msg);

           # Delete the queue
           $q->Delete();

INTRODUCTION

       Amazon::SQS::Simple is an OO API for the Amazon Simple Queue Service.

IMPORTANT

       This version of Amazon::SQS::Simple defaults to work against version 2009-02-01 of the SQS
       API.

       Earlier API versions may or may not work.

CONSTRUCTOR

       new($access_key, $secret_key, [%opts])
         Constructs a new Amazon::SQS::Simple object

         $access_key is your Amazon Web Services access key. $secret_key is your Amazon Web
         Services secret key. If you don't have either of these credentials, visit
         <http://aws.amazon.com/>.

         Options for new:

         Timeout => SECONDS
             Set the HTTP user agent's timeout (default is 180 seconds)

         Version => VERSION_STRING
             Specifies the SQS API version you wish to use. E.g.:

              my $sqs = new Amazon::SQS::Simple($access_key, $secret_key, Version => '2008-01-01');

METHODS

       GetQueue($queue_endpoint)
         Gets the queue with the given endpoint. Returns a "Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue" object.
         (See Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue for details.)

       CreateQueue($queue_name, [%opts])
         Creates a new queue with the given name. Returns a "Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue" object.
         (See Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue for details.)

         Options for CreateQueue:

         DefaultVisibilityTimeout => SECONDS
             Set the default visibility timeout for this queue

       ListQueues([%opts])
         Gets a list of all your current queues. Returns an array of "Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue"
         objects. (See Amazon::SQS::Simple::Queue for details.)

         Options for ListQueues:

         QueueNamePrefix => STRING
             Only those queues whose name begins with the specified string are returned.

FUNCTIONS

       No functions are exported by default; if you want to use them, export them in your use
       line:

           use Amazon::SQS::Simple qw( timestamp );

       timestamp($seconds)
         Takes a time in seconds since the epoch and returns a formatted timestamp suitable for
         using in a Timestamp or Expires optional method parameter.

STANDARD OPTIONS

       The following options can be supplied with any of the listed methods.

       AWSAccessKeyId => STRING
         The AWS Access Key Id to use with the method call. If not provided, Amazon::SQS::Simple
         uses the value passed to the constructor.

       SecretKey => STRING
         The Secret Key to use with the method call. If not provided, Amazon::SQS::Simple uses
         the value passed to the constructor.

       Timestamp => TIMESTAMP
         All methods are automatically given a timestamp of the time at which they are called,
         but you can override this value if you need to. The value for this key should be a
         timestamp as returned by the Amazon::SQS::Simple::timestamp() function.

         You generally do not need to supply this option.

       Expires => TIMESTAMP
         All methods are automatically given a timestamp of the time at which they are called.
         You can alternatively set an expiry time by providing an Expires option. The value for
         this key should be a timestamp as returned by the "Amazon::SQS::Simple::timestamp()"
         function.

         You generally do not need to supply this option.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

       Bill Alford wrote the code to support basic functionality of older API versions in release
       0.9.  James Neal provided the proxy support code in release 2.0 Roland Walker provided
       support for the newer signature version in release 2.0 Chris Jones provied the batch
       message code in release 2.0
