Tie-Amazon-S3 This module simply makes an Amazon S3 bucket behave as though it were a regular Perl hash. It makes use of Net::Amazon::S3 to do its magic. This version of Tie::Amazon::S3 implements some of the hash-specfic methods for tying Perl hashes, with the exception of FIRSTKEY, NEXTKEY, SCALAR, UNTIE, and DESTROY. I hope to complete this by the next release. INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install TESTING To run `make test' of this module against Amazon S3 itself, you will need to define the AMAZON_S3_EXPENSIVE_TESTS environment variable, as well as set the variables AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, AWS_ACCESS_KEY_SECRET, and AWS_ACCESS_S3_BUCKET to their corresponding values (your access id, secret key, and bucket to put test files in.) Furthermore, the bucket to be used must exist prior to testing.
