The API for Amazon changed soon after the article was published. Sorry about that. There's nothing I can do about. Even more annoyingly, I didn't notice the change until after I'd sent in the second article in the series. So that will be published with incorrect information too. I'll make sure there's an explanation published with the third article in the series. Claude,

Thanks -- i finally jump in the the perl lib arena : installing manually and with cpan... To the $./book add 0330258648 i did get the following output : Mandatory parameter 'associate_tag' not defined at /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Net/Amazon.pm line 67. It seems there's a third ENV var to define and to ad in the "book" example : associate_tag => $ENV{AMAZON_ASSOCIATE} around line 85. Using : Net-Amazon-0.61, DateTime-0.70, DBIx-Class-0.08195 and DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader-0.07014. Merci encore -- à bientôt -- Claude Good evening Dave,

I’ve red, appreciated and implemented your “books” db (LXF-151).
Thanks — i finally jump in the the perl lib arena : installing
manually and with cpan…

To the $./book add 0330258648 i did get the following output :

Mandatory parameter ‘associate_tag’ not defined at
/usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0/Net/Amazon.pm line 67.

It seems there’s a third ENV var to define and to ad in the
“book” example :

associate_tag => $ENV{AMAZON_ASSOCIATE} around line 85.

Using : Net-Amazon-0.61, DateTime-0.70, DBIx-Class-0.08195 and
DBIx-Class-Schema-Loader-0.07014.

Merci encore — à bientôt

However, you can use the same API key to access other web services like S3 and EC2 which do cost money. So I suppose that's why they want your credit card. In case you use the paid services. Sorry I didn't mention it. I knew what I was doing wasn't going to cost money, but it's been such a long time since I signed up that I forgot they asked for a credit card number. Or perhaps they didn't ask as I signed up using my existing Amazon account. The things that we’re doing with the Amazon API don’t cost anything at all.

And now I just took the first step, registering for an Amazon key to use the API. And they want my credit card number!? For searching their website to see if I want to buy something from them? So right now I'm pretty annoyed with Amazon for its business practices and pretty annoyed with you for not mentioning that money was involved. Or have I missed something?
