how do I get the Windows modules without the installer?

[lamw]

If you're referring to the Perl scripts that is part of the vSphere SDK for Perl, you'll need to download and install the following: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/viperltoolkit/ which will come with vCLI including additional utilities and most important a specific version of Active state Perl for Windows. The individual scripts are not available for download and if you want you can install the vCLI separately or download the virtual appliance

Thanks for the reply. I guess what I am looking for is the VIPerl Toolkit source installation. I already have ActiveState Perl installed on my system, so I don't want the package that includes ActiveState. In the past, there was a separate distribution so you could make and install the VIPerl modules into your existing Perl environment. Even that was very difficult to find without a direct link.. but I have no idea where to get it for vSphere.

I'm not aware of any separate installers, you'll the available downloads at the link above from the 'download' button. Perhaps the old toolkits were served through sourceforge which provide a separate installer w/o ActiveState Perl.

The vSphere SDK for Perl source code is available with Linux Installer (32-bit or 64-bit) tar bundle. For installation on windows, please refer to the instructions under the section "Install the vSphere SDK for Perl from Source Code on Windows" on page 18 of the Installation guide.

Hope this information is helpful.

I just laid out the steps I usually take to setup your ActiveState Perl environment to run VMware scripts in another thread.

Take a look at this thread in this forum.
