VERSION

Version 0.03

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Amazon::Signature;
my $sig_maker = Net::Amazon::Signature->new(Service => AWSServiceName);

 Operation => 'GetInfo', 
 SecretAccessKey => 'Your Secret Key Here',

DESCRIPTION

This module creates the encrypted signature needed to login to Amazon's Mechanical Turk and Alexa web services and any other web services that Amazon might make in the future that require an encrypted signature, assuming they follow the same convention.

METHODS

new

creates a new Net::Amazon::Signature object
Takes in a hashref with key Service
Example
my $foo = Net::Amazon::Signature->new({Service => 'AWSMechanicalTurkRequester'});

create

Creates the signature. The method takes in a hashref with two required values:
* SecretAccessKey - the secret access key that Amazon has assigned to you.
* Operation - the name of the operation to perform.

Returns an array with the signature and the timestamp used in creating the authenticated request.

_make_signature

makes the encoded signature give an unencoded string and a hashing key (the secret access id). You do not need to call this function directly. Call create_signature instead.
