DESCRIPTION

This module lets you keep Amazon Web Services credentials in a configuration file for use with different tools that need them.

USAGE
new()

my $config = Net::Amazon::Config->new( %params );

Valid %params entries include:

• config_dir -- directory containing the config file (and the default location for other files named in the config file). Defaults to "$HOME/.amazon"
• config_file -- defaults to "profiles.conf"

Returns an object or undef if no config file can be found.

config_path()

my $path = $config->config_path;

Returns the absolute path to the configuration file.

get_profile()

my $profile = $config->get_profile( $name );

If $name is omitted or undefined, returns the profile named in the top-level key "default" in the config file. If the profile does not exist, get profile returns undef or an empty list.

ENVIRONMENT

• NET_AMAZON_CONFIG -- absolute path to config file or file name relative to the configuration directory
• NET_AMAZON_CONFIG_DIR -- configuration directory
