Writing vSphere SDK for Perl Scripts

This chapter uses a simple example script to illustrate how to write a vSphere SDK for Perl script. The chapter also explores the basics of the vSphere API object model.

Note: This chapter does not discuss Perl basics. You are expected to know Perl and to understand its programming conventions. When you develop a vSphere SDK for Perl script, follow Perl standards for filenames, imports, and general processing flow. Use the appropriate filename extension for the type of script or application you are creating ( .pl on Windows and .pl or no suffix on UNIX-like systems).
