I am new to using Perl and the SDK. I am having an issue with a task that was simple with PowerCLI, but for some reason I am having an issue. I am building and interactive tool for deploying VMs from an OVA. The idea is that a user will start the script. It will prompt them for credentials and vCenter IP. This part works and I connect without issue. Next I want it to query vCenter for a list of the managed clusters and create a menu to allow the user to select the cluster they would like to interact with and store it as a variable. I have done this with PowerCLI, but as I said I am having difficulty using the Perl SDK for this. Here's my powercli code
# Define cluster
Write-Host "`nPlease select the desired cluster from the list below:`n"
$myClusters = Get-Cluster
$menu = @{}
for ($i=1;$i -le $myClusters.count; $i++) {
Write-Host "$i. $($myClusters[$i-1].name)"
$menu.Add($i,($myClusters[$i-1].name))
}
Write-Host "`n"
[int]$ans = Read-Host 'Enter selection'
$selection = $menu.Item($ans)
Write-Host "`nThe"$selection" cluster was selected. Querying cluster for hosts and VMs..."
$clusterName = $selection
# End define cluster
