Amazon::S3::Bucket – A container class for a S3 bucket and its contents.
| Use Case | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Instantiate bucket | my $bucket = $s3->bucket("foo"); | Creates a bucket object (no existence check) |
| Add key with metadata | $bucket->add_key($key, $value, { content_type => 'text/plain', 'x-amz-meta-colour' => 'orange' }); | Uploads a resource with custom HTTP headers and metadata |
| List all keys | $response = $bucket->list; | Returns a HASHREF with bucket name and array of key details |
| Check key existence | if ($bucket->head_key($keyname)) { ... } | Returns the key's configuration HASH or undef if not present |
| Delete a key | $bucket->delete_key($keyname); | Permanently removes the key from the bucket |
| Delete bucket | $bucket->delete_bucket; | Removes the bucket (must be empty) |
| Fetch key content | my $data = $bucket->get_key($keyname); | Returns HASHREF with content_type, etag, value, and metadata |
| Get key to file | $bucket->get_key_filename($key, $method, $filename); | Writes the key’s value directly to a local file |
| Add key from a local file | $bucket->add_key_filename($key, $filepath, { ... }); | Streams a file to S3 without loading into memory |
| Set bucket/public ACL | $bucket->set_acl({ acl_short => 'public-read' }); | Applies common ACL profiles (private, public-read, etc.) |
| Retrieve bucket ACL | my $xml = $bucket->get_acl; | Returns ACL as XML document |
| Get location constraint | $bucket->get_location_constraint; | Returns the region/location constraint of the bucket |

Instantiates a new bucket object.
Requires a hash containing two arguments:
NOTE: This method does not check if a bucket actually exists. It simply instantiates the bucket.
Typically a developer will not call this method directly, but work through the interface in Amazon::S3 that will handle their creation.
Takes three positional parameters:
"acl_short" key to set the permissions (access) of the resource without a separate call via add_acl or in the form of an XML document. See the documentation in add_acl for the values and usage.Returns a boolean indicating its success. Check err and errstr for error message if this operation fails.
The method works like add_key except the value is assumed to be a filename on the local file system. The file will be streamed rather than loaded into memory in one big chunk.
Returns a configuration HASH of the given key. If a key does not exist in the bucket undef will be returned.
Takes a key and an optional HTTP method and fetches it from S3. The default HTTP method is GET.
The method returns undef if the key does not exist in the bucket and throws an exception (dies) on server errors.
On success, the method returns a HASHREF containing:
This method works like get_key, but takes an added filename that the S3 resource will be written to.
Permanently removes $key_name from the bucket. Returns a boolean value indicating the operation's success.
Permanently removes the bucket from the server. A bucket cannot be removed if it contains any keys (contents).
This is an alias for $s3->delete_bucket($bucket).
List all keys in this bucket.
See "list_bucket" in Amazon::S3 for documentation of this method.
List all keys in this bucket without having to worry about 'marker'. This may make multiple requests to S3 under the hood.
See "list_bucket_all" in Amazon::S3 for documentation of this method.
Retrieves the Access Control List (ACL) for the bucket or resource as an XML document.
Sets the Access Control List (ACL) for the bucket or resource. Requires a HASHREF argument with one of the following keys:
According to the Amazon S3 API documentation the following recognized acl_short types are defined as follows:
Returns a boolean indicating the operations success.
Returns the location constraint data on a bucket.
For more information on location constraints, refer to the Amazon S3 Developer Guide.
The S3 error code for the last error the account encountered.
A human readable error string for the last error the account encountered.
