I have been struggling all day with trying to get perl to talk to AWS/S3. It has been a rough day. First off, I am using Strawberry Perl, and perhaps this is the root of all my issues. I failed to install Net::Amazon::S3, and I had separate issues with Amazon::S3. I made the most progress with AWS::S3 from LEEJO. Assuming for a moment Strawberry Perl is not the issue, the current roadblock I am hitting is trying to use the $bucket->add_file function to an existing bucket. The code keeps generating this message:

"Use of uninitialized value $etag in substitution (s///) at C:/Strawberry/perl/site/lib/AWS/S3/File.pm line 153."

use AWS::S3;

my $aws_access_key_id     = "XXX";
my $aws_secret_access_key = "XXX";
 
my $s3 = AWS::S3->new(
  access_key_id     => $aws_access_key_id,
  secret_access_key => $aws_secret_access_key,
  honor_leading_slashes => 0, # set to allow leading slashes in bucket
+ names, defaults to 0
);
 
my @bucket_list = $s3->buckets;
my $bucket = @bucket_list[0];

my $name = $bucket->name;
my $acl = $bucket->acl;

print "Name: " . $name . ", ACL: " . acl . "\n";

# Add a file:
my $new_file = $bucket->add_file(
  key       => 'foo/bar.txt',
  contents  => \'This is the contents of the file',
);
