<P>Welcome to the <strong>beta release</strong> of the VMware Infrastructure (VI) Perl Toolkit. The VI Perl Toolkit provides an easy-to-use Perl scripting interface to VMware Infrastructure APIs. Administrators and developers who may be more familiar with Perl (rather than with Java, C#, or other programming languages) can readily leverage the power of the VI APIs. Better still, the Perl Toolkit includes numerous <a href="doc/perl_toolkit_utilities_idx.html" target="perlUtilities">Utility Applications</a>, a suite of ready-to-run administrative-operations applications that can immediately be put to use in your virtual datacenter.</p>
<p>
For developers who have previously worked with the Scripting APIs (specifically, the VmPerl APIs), the VI Perl Toolkit is the tool of choice.</p>
