Net::Amazon::EC2 0.04

Net::Amazon::EC2 is a Perl interface to the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) environment.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Amazon::EC2;

my $ec2 = Net::Amazon::EC2->new(
AWSAccessKeyId => PUBLIC_KEY_HERE,
SecretAccessKey => SECRET_KEY_HERE
);

# Start 1 new instance from AMI: ami-XXXXXXXX
my $instance = $ec2->run_instances(ImageId => ami-XXXXXXXX, MinCount => 1, MaxCount => 1);

my $running_instances = $ec2->describe_instances();

foreach my $inst (@{$running_instances}) {
print "$inst->{instance}[0]{instanceId}n";
}

# Terminate instance

my $result = $ec2->terminate_instances(InstanceId => $instance->{instance}[0]{instanceId});

If an error occurs in communicating with EC2, the return value will be undef and $ec2->{error} will be populated with the message.
