NAME

       VM::EC2::State - Object describing the state of an EC2 instance

SYNOPSIS

         use VM::EC2;

         $ec2      = VM::EC2->new(...);
         $instance = $ec2->describe_instances(-instance_id=>'i-12345');
         $state    = $instance->state;
         $code     = $state->code;
         $name     = $state->name;

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents the state of an Amazon EC2 instance.  It is returned by calling the state() method
       of an VM::EC2::Instance, and is also returned by VM::EC2->start_instances(), stop_instances() and
       terminate_instances().

METHODS

       These object methods are supported:

        code           -- The state code
        name           -- The state name

          Code                            Name
          ----                            -------
           0                              pending
          16                              running
          32                              shutting-down
          48                              terminated
          64                              stopping
          80                              stopped
         272                              <none>

       Code 272 is said to correspond to a problem with the instance host.

STRING OVERLOADING

       When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the name.
