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.
