How To Upload Images to Amazon S3 Using Perl

Question

I am trying to upload images to S3 using perl. Here is the code snippet:

my $keyname = 'testing.txt';
my $value   = 'T';
$bucket->add_key(
   $keyname, $value,
   {   content_type        => 'text/plain',
       'x-amz-meta-colour' => 'orange',
   }
);

Is it right? Do i have to make any changes?

That code won't upload the file - it's simply setting the value associated with the key "testing.txt" to "T". If you want to upload a file you could use the add_key_filename method:

That method works like add_key except the value is assumed to be a filename on the local file system. The file will be streamed rather then loaded into memory in one big chunk
