As of Aug. 15th 2009, Amazon's AWS require REST users to "sign" their requests. There is already sample code from Amazon out, but as it seems, it does not rely on any cpan code for signing, instead it introduces a simple helper module.

Currently, I am relying on Net::Amazon and would like to continue this path instead of working up something new. But the latest release 0.54 is dated 17 Jun 2009. And it does not support signing. Now, looking into the changelog tells me that someone already has filed a bug for the signing functionailty Christopher advertised here as on the todo list.

Can someone shed some light? Is the 0.55 release with signing just around the corner?

Update:
Does the fact that there is " secret_key => 'YOUR_AMZN_SECRET_KEY' " on the new() routine answers it with yes? (although there's no explicit mention of the signing functionality?)
