Amazon::SimpleDB provides a low-level perlish interface for working with Amazon's SimpleDB service. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install TESTING Testing Amazon Web Services like SimpleDB 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.
