Amazon::S3 is a fork of Net::Amazon::S3. "This need for this module arose from some work that needed to work with S3 and would be distributed, installed and used on many various environments where compiled dependencies may not be an option. Net::Amazon::S3 used XML::LibXML tying it to that specific and often difficult to install option. In order to remove this potential barrier to entry, this module is forked and then modified to use XML::SAX via XML::Simple."
Since Net::Amazon::S3 is already packaged for Debian as libnet-amazon-s3-perl, the motivation for the fork does not apply to us. Also, Net::Amazon::S3 seems more actively maintained upstream (most recent release 2014 as opposed to 2009 for Amazon::S3). I'm therefore wondering if patching RT to use Net::Amazon::S3 might be a better option? (I don't know how much work this would involve?) Christopher
