package VM::EC2::Instance::State::Change;

=head1 NAME

VM::EC2::Instance::State::Change - Represent an EC2 instance's change in state.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

     # find all stopped instances
    @instances = $ec2->describe_instances(-filter=>{'instance-state-name'=>'stopped'});

    # start them
    @state_change = $ec2->start_instances(@instances)
 
    foreach my $sc (@state_change) {
        my $instanceId    = $sc->instanceId;
        my $currentState  = $sc->currentState;
        my $previousState = $sc->previousState;
    }

    # poll till the first instance is running
    sleep 2 until $state_change[0]->current_status eq 'running';

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This object represents a state change in an Amazon EC2 instance.  It
is returned by VM::EC2 start_instances(), stop_instances(),
terminate_instances(), reboot_instances() and the corresponding
VM::EC2::Instance methods. In addition, this object is returned by
calls to VM::EC2::Instance->instanceState().

=head1 METHODS

These object methods are supported:
 
 instanceId      -- The instanceId.
 currentState    -- The instanceId's current state AT THE TIME
                     THE STATECHANGE OBJECT WAS CREATED. One of
                     "terminated", "running", "stopped", "stopping",
                     "shutting-down".
 previousState   -- The instanceID's previous state AT THE TIME
                     THE STATECHANGE OBJECT WAS CREATED.

Note that currentState and previousState return a
VM::EC2::Instance::State object, which provides both string-readable
forms and numeric codes representing the state.

In addition, the method provides the following convenience method:

=head2 $state = $state_change->current_status()

This method returns the current state of the instance. This is the
correct method to call if you are interested in knowing what the
instance is doing right now.

=head2 STRING OVERLOADING

In a string context, the method will return the string representation of
currentState.
