Leon Brocard (aka acme) is an orange-loving Perl eurohacker with many varied contributions to the Perl community, including the GraphViz module on the CPAN. YAPC::Europe was all his fault. He is still looking for a Perl Monger group he can start which begins with the letter 'D'.

Retries in Net::Amazon::S3
One of the slight issues with Amazon's Simple Storage Service is that by design sometimes the service returns a HTTP 500 Internal Server Error response and the client should retry the request. Previously, applications which use my Net::Amazon::S3 module, such as Brackup,
had to handle the retries themselves - but no more! With the magic that is LWP::UserAgent::Determined
you can now pass a retry option into the version 0.42 of Net::Amazon::S3 and it will handle the retries with exponential backoff for you.
