Amazon DBD DBI interface

Now this is a fancy module… the Amazon Web Services -Perl DBI Module for ECS is another plugin to perl's database abstraction layer.

With this module you can connect to the Amazon ECS, utilizing REST web services, but querying them like a normal database…

DBD::Amazon supports a subset of standard SQL, and additional predicate functions for keyword searches.

The first thing I notice is that altough you can set the amazon product mode to "Books" the main table used that is always called "Books" ... a bit weird – should be "Products" IMHO...
