The last part of the script processes the views.

For this step, you must know the view objects' properties and methods, so you must understand the server-side objects. See Understanding Server-Side Objects for an introduction. For in-depth information about server-side objects, see the vSphere API Reference Guide.

Because views are Perl objects, you use Perl object-oriented syntax to process the views. Sample Script (Commented Version) loops through the array of entities returned (@$entity_views) and accesses the name property of each entity by calling $entity_view->name. The example then prints the name of each entity to the console.
