SYNOPSIS

  use VM::EC2;
  $ec2     = VM::EC2->new(...);
  @pairs   = $ec2->describe_key_pairs();
  foreach (@pairs) {
      $fingerprint = $_->keyFingerprint;
      $name        = $_->keyName;
  }
  $newkey = $ec2->create_key_pair("fred's key");
  print $newkey->privateKey;

DESCRIPTION

This object represents an Amazon EC2 ssh key pair, and is returned by VM::EC2->describe_key_pairs().

METHODS

These object methods are supported:

 keyName         -- Name of the key, e.g. "fred-default"
 name            -- Shorter version of keyName()
 keyFingerprint  -- Key's fingerprint
 fingerprint     -- Shorter version of keyFingerprint()
 keyMaterial     -- PEM encoded RSA private key (only available when
                    creating a new key)
 privateKey      -- More intuitive version of keyMaterial()

STRING OVERLOADING

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