NAME

Amazon::SimpleDB - a low-level perlish interface for working with Amazon's SimpleDB service.

DESCRIPTION

This is code is in the early stages of development. Do not consider it stable. Feedback and patches welcome.

Amazon::SimpleDB provides a "low-level" perlish interface for working with Amazon's SimpleDB (SMB) service.

"Amazon SimpleDB is a web service for running queries on structured data in real time. This service works in close conjunction with Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), collectively providing the ability to store, process and query data sets in the cloud. These services are designed to make web-scale computing easier and more cost-effective for developers."

To sign up for an Amazon Web Services account, required to use this library and the SimpleDB service, please visit the Amazon Web Services web site at http://www.amazonaws.com/.

You will be billed accordingly by Amazon when you use this module and must be responsible for these costs.

TO DO

Development of a proper test suite. Currently this module is only testing that the code compiles. This priority one.
Support the use of HTTP POST. Right now the module only uses GET for everything. The SimpleDB is sadly GETsful and not really REST.
Support retries of the SimpleDB service is a server error (HTTP 5xx status) is returned before giving.
Implement a "query_all" method that will automatically issue multiple calls to the service if a NextToken is returned.
