I'm about to embark on writing a new provisioning module for VCL based on some existing perl scripts I have. Is there any documentation for how the module interface works? I haven't been able to find any aside from reading existing modules. Also are there any required/preferred coding guidelines for this project?


For those that are interested, this module is going to be another ESX provisioning module. This module will use VMware snapshots to create deployed VMs as snapshots against the base image's disk, which leads to extremely quick provisioning with little wasted disk usage. Its based on the techniques used in the ghetto linked clones script (http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9020) but rewritten in perl using the VI Perl Toolkit. I already have stand alone scripts in perl that work, so this is mostly an exercise of converting those scripts into a VCL module.
