NAME

       VM::EC2::Error - Object describing an error emitted by the Amazon API

SYNOPSIS

         use VM::EC2;

         $ec2      = VM::EC2->new(...);
         $instance = $ec2->describe_instance(-instance_id=>'invalid-name');
         die $ec2->error if $ec2->is_error;

DESCRIPTION

       This object represents an error emitted by the Amazon API. VM::EC2 method calls may return
       undef under either of two conditions: the request may simply have no results that satisfy
       it (for example, asking to describe an instance whose ID does not exist), or an error
       occurred due to invalid parameters or communication problems.

       As described in VM::EC2, the VM::EC2->is_error method returns true if the last method call
       resulted in an error, and VM::EC2->error returns the content of the error message.

METHODS

       These object methods are supported:

        message -- the error message
        code    -- the error code

STRING OVERLOADING

       When used in a string context, this object will interpolate the code and message into a
       single string in the format "Message [Code]".
