Hi Mike,

information and file a bug at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?atid=3D878638&group_id=3D176787&func=3Dbr=
owse

I will follow up with the person who wrote this sample and get it =
resolved. =20

Subject: [Viperltoolkit-user] Error running vmprovision.pl sample

=20

I'm attempting to create a VM using the perl toolkit with the sample.  =
The
first invocation tries to take a default VM config and complains about =
args.
It appears though that the args are the same as the example, only =
modified to
run against a esx machine in this environment.  The second example also
fails, but this time with a parsing error.
