Bug#847514: RFP: libamazon-s3-pelr -- a portable client library for working with and managing Amazon S3 buckets and keys.

[Christopher Hoskin <christopher.hoskin@gmail.com>]

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?)
