=head1 SEE ALSO

=over 4

=item * L<Net::Amazon::AWSSign> - handles the v2 signing process but not v4

=item * L<Net::Amazon::Signature> - also seems to be v2

=item * L<Net::Amazon::Signature::V4> - supports the v4 protocol (and passes the
AWS test suite cleanly), simpler interface than this one and easier to use if
you only want to sign the request and don't need access to any of the intermediate
steps.
