Actually, just realized that VCL is using version 1.6 of the VI Toolkit:
[r...@vclmgmt vm]# /usr/lib/vmware-viperl/apps/vm/vmregister.pl --server
'vclvm1' --username root --password '***' --version
VI Perl Toolkit version: 1.6
Script 'vmregister.pl' version: 1.0
Should I update to the vSphere SDK for Perl 4.0? Is this even this same
thing? Will it break other things if I do?
I'm in uncharted territory here, and appreciate the help. Thanks for
reading all these messages and assisting.
