Your system must meet the Perl module requirements of the WS-Management Perl library.

The WS-Management Perl library requires these Perl modules.

  • SOAP::Lite – Version 0.67 - version 0.69 are supported. Versions before 0.67 or 0.7 or later are not supported.
  • UUID – Version 0.02 and later.
  • Data::Dump – Version 1.07 and later.

If the system you are using is behind a firewall, make sure that the http_proxy and ftp_proxy environment variables are set to match your Proxy server before you proceed with the following instructions for Windows or Linux.

Note: If you use one of the supported Linux distributions, the required modules are included with the vSphere SDK for Perl and you do not have to install them.
