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.
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).
