NAME

Net::Amazon::R53 - An interface to Amazon's Route53

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Net::Amazon::R53 - released January 09, 2013 as part of Net-Amazon-R53.

SYNOPSIS

    use Net::Amazon::R53;

    my $r53 = Net::Amazon::R53->new(id => $aws_id, key => $aws_key);

    $r53
        ->get_hosted_zone('Z1345....')
        ->purge
        ->delete
        ;

    # ...etc.

DESCRIPTION

This is an interface to Amazon's Route53 DNS service. It aims to be simple, reliable, well tested, easily extensible, and capable of rescuing kittens from volcanoes.

Well, maybe not that last part.

REQUIRED ATTRIBUTES

These attributes are required, and must have their values supplied during object construction.

id

Your AWS id.

key

...and the corresponding AWS secret key.

LAZY ATTRIBUTES

These attributes are lazily constructed from another source (e.g. required attributes, external source, a BUILD() method, or some combo thereof). You can set these values at construction time, though this is generally neither required nor recommended.

signer

The logic that authenticates your requests to Route53.

ATTRIBUTES

hosted_zones_hash

Contains a list of all HostedZones associated with this AWS key/id; lazily built. Right now we fetch at most 100 records.

template_dir

The directory we expect to find our templates in.

METHODS

signed_headers

Returns a list of headers (key/value pairs) suitable for direct inclusion in the headers of a Route53 request.

has_fetched_hosted_zones

True if the hosted_zones attribute is currently populated (that is, we've fetched some at some point from Amazon.

clear_hosted_zones

Deletes our cached set of hosted zones, if we have any.

has_hosted_zones

True if we currently have any hosted zones.

has_hosted_zone($plain_id)

True if we have a zone with a plain id as passed to us.

hosted_zone_ids

Returns all of the hosted zone ids we know about.

hosted_zones

Returns a list of all known hosted zones; that is, a list of Net::Amazon::R53::HostedZone instances.

hosted_zones_count

Returns the number of hosted zones Route53 thinks we have. =method hosted_zone_by_id($id)

Looks for a hosted zone with the passed value as its id. Note that we're talking about the so-called "plain" id, not the fully qualified one (e.g. 'Z12345', not '/hostedzone/Z12345').

hosted_zone_by_caller_reference($caller_reference)

Looks for a zone with the passed string as its caller reference. Returns nothing if no such zone is found.

get_resource_record_sets(<hosted zone id>)

Given a hosted zone id, we fetch all its associated resource record sets.

create_hosted_zone(name => ..., caller_reference => ..., comment => ...)

Creates a hosted zone.

name is the domain name this zone holds records for, e.g. 'test.com.'.

caller_reference is some unique client-chosen (aka you) identifier.

comment is, well, the comment used for zone creation.

Only the name parameter is mandatory; suitable values will be generated for the other options if they are omitted.

Returns the new hosted zone object if called in scalar context; the change and hosted zone objects if called in list context; that is:

    my ($hz, $change) = $r53->create_hosted_zone(...);
    my $hz            = $r53->create_hosted_zone(...);

Dies on error. For more information, see the Route53 API and Developer's Guide.

copy_hosted_zone($hz)

Given a hosted zone object, create a new hosted zone and copy the contents of the given zone to the new zone.

Returns the new hosted zone instance.

delete_hosted_zone($hz_id | $hz)

Delete a hosted zone, by its id; both the plain id (e.g. ZIQB30DSWGWG6) or the full one Amazon returns (e.g. /hostedzone/ZIQB30DSWGWG6) are acceptable ids.

We do not perform any validation. If the zone doesn't exist, or is not pristine (contains any non-Amazon record sets), or anything else goes sideways, we'll just die.

request($method, $uri_part, $content)

Make a request to Route53.

get_request

Same as request(), but as a GET.

post_request

Same as request(), but as a POST.

delete_request

Same as request(), but as a DELETE.
