DESCRIPTION
This module provides a simple interface to the Mosso Cloud Files
service. "Cloud Files is reliable, scalable and affordable web-based
storage for backing up and archiving all your static content". Find out
more at <http://www.mosso.com/cloudfiles.jsp>.

To use this module you will need to sign up to Mosso Cloud Files and
provide a "user" and "key". If you use this module, you will incurr
costs as specified by Mosso. Please check the costs. If you use this
module with your user and key you will be responsible for these costs.

I highly recommend reading all about Cloud Files, but in a nutshell data
is stored in objects. Objects are referenced by names and objects are
stored in containers.

METHODS
new
The constructor logs you into Cloud Files:

my $cloudfiles = Net::Mosso::CloudFiles->new(
user => 'myusername',
key => 'mysecretkey',
);

containers
List all the containers and return them as
Net::Mosso::CloudFiles::Container objects:

my @containers = $cloudfiles->containers;

create_container
Create a new container and return it as a
Net::Mosso::CloudFiles::Container object:

my $container = $cloudfiles->create_container(name => 'testing');

container
Use an existing container and return it as a
Net::Mosso::CloudFiles::Container object:

my $existing_container = $cloudfiles->container(name => 'testing');

total_bytes_used
Returns the total amount of bytes used in your Cloud Files account:

my $total_bytes_used = $cloudfiles->total_bytes_used;

TESTING
Testing CloudFiles is a tricky thing. Mosso charges you a bit of money
each time you use their service. And yes, testing counts as using.
Because of this, this module's test suite skips testing unless you set
the following three environment variables, along the lines of:

CLOUDFILES_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=1 CLOUDFILES_USER=username CLOUDFILES_KEY=15bf43... perl t/simple.t
