I don't have <i>hands-on experience </i>for SimpleDB (though I'm excited about the tech. and think it's cool stuff), but from the last YAPC, I'd point you to Timothy Appnel - he was working on some sort of AWS bundle and he also has the <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Etima/Amazon-SimpleDB-0.03/">SimpleDB perl module</a>, too.<br>
<br>Amazon has a <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/simpledb/#pricing">free tier for SimpleDB usage</a> until May or so. Keep in mind that SimpleDB is totally different than your typical relational database system ... it's a big mindset-shift!<br>
<br>As for S3, I have some experience w/ that (uploading stuff to buckets) and I'm using <a href="http://search.cpan.org/%7Elbrocard/Net-Amazon-S3-0.49/lib/Net/Amazon/S3.pm">Net::Amazon::S3</a> - works great. :)<br><br>

I am investigating CPAN modules for S3 and SimpleDB, but there are
different ones on CPAN. (I also read the Perl.com article on this
topic.) Does anyone have suggestions based on their own <i>hands-on
experience</i>?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Bill.<br>
