new¶

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.

secure

Set this to 1 if you want to use SSL-encrypted connections when talking to S3. Defaults to 0.

timeout

Defines the time, in seconds, your script should wait or a response before bailing. Defaults is 30 seconds.

retry

Enables or disables the library to retry upon errors. This uses exponential backoff with retries after 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 seconds, as recommended by Amazon. Defaults to off, no retries.

host

Defines the S3 host endpoint to use. Defaults to 's3.amazonaws.com'.

buckets¶

owner_id

The owner's ID of the buckets owner.

owner_display_name

The name of the owner account.

buckets

Any ARRAYREF of Amazon::SimpleDB::Bucket objects for the account.

add_bucket¶

bucket

The name of the bucket you want to add

acl_short (optional)

See the set_acl subroutine for documentation on the acl_short options

Returns 0 on failure or a Amazon::S3::Bucket object on success

bucket BUCKET¶

Returns an (unverified) bucket object from an account. This method does not access the network.

delete_bucket¶

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¶

Takes a HASHREF of arguments:

bucket

REQUIRED. The name of the bucket you want to list keys on.

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.

NOTE: CommonPrefixes isn't currently supported by Amazon::S3.

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, 
        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:

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¶

Takes the same arguments as list_bucket.
