Hello, Thanks for writing this script. Everytime I run this after making sure the ruby aws-sdk is installed and setting my secret key/access key, I get this error:

delete_Vault.rb:6:in `

': uninitialized constant AWS (NameError)
Did you mean? Aws

Also, does vault_id in line 11 refer to VaultARN. I could find no reference to vault_ID anywhere in the console or the documentation: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazonglacier/latest/dev/api-vault-get.html
