snapshotmanager.pl –operation list --vmname Wildcard Search?

Using snapshotmanager.pl –operation list --vmname vmname01 works fine but I am trying to find a way to return a list of All vm's and their respective snapshots and output that to a csv file. Tried a few different wildcards to no avail.

In PowerCLI this is pretty simple but being a perl noob seems I need a kick start :slightly_smiling_face: 

Also the reason I am using this is to do the following

Project requires Linux and Perl no Windows or PowerCLI --

Create snapshots and remove existing snapshots x number of days old and create a report of what's what. So using CRON it seems like I could use this just need so pointers or if there is a better perl sdk solution.
