S3 ?

I'm going to offload media content to s3 for storage+backup and use a  
CDN for distro and reliability (apparently s3 is great at storing  
your data and never loses it, but i keep hearing nightmare  
connectivity stories)

I'm wondering if anyone on this list has used s3 under modperl and  
has any tip/ticks to look out for , and can recommend a library

The top contendors right now are:
	Net::Amazon::S3
		CPAN distro , looks stable. used in catalyst.
	Soap::Amazon::S3
		'experimental but functional' -- eh
	The 'official' amazon library
		its in their examples, but has no versioning / date info nor a  
central repository

Net::Amazon::S3 looks like it shouldn't have any memory / management  
issues under mp2.  just want to be  safe.

I'm not convinced S3 is the best for CDN-like things, mostly due to
the terrible user support Amazon has been giving when problems arise.
Did you do some testing?

It doesn't support using a filehandle for reading/writing the value,  
so if you have very large files it will use a lot of memory.   
Otherwise it will be fine.

I made my "store stuff" library just try 3 times more (with a longer  
and longer delay) if/when it gets an error from S3.   I've only used  
it for a few months, but not seen any problems in that time.
