=head1 NAME

Net::Amazon::Request::EAN - request class for EAN search

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Net::Amazon;
  use Net::Amazon::Request::EAN;

  my $ua = Net::Amazon->new(
      token       => 'YOUR_AMZN_TOKEN'
  );

  my $req = Net::Amazon::Request::EAN->new( 
      ean => '5035822647633',
  );

    # Response is of type Net::Amazon::Response::EAN
  my $resp = $ua->request($req);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

C<Net::Amazon::Request::EAN> is a class used to submit EAN search requests to
the Amazon web service.

The EAN number to search for is specified in the C<EAN> parameter.

Upon success, the response's C<properties()> method will return a single
C<Net::Amazon::Property> object.

According to the Amazon E-Commerce Service Developer's Guide (2007-01-15) EAN
searches are only valid in DE, JP, and CA only.  This is patently false.  I
think this is a documenation bug, and is actually for valid for non-US only.

=head2 METHODS

=over 4

=item new(ean => $ean)
