EventFilterSpecByTime not working ?

Hello,

I'm trying to write a little perl script to collect events related to VM from the last 24H on a vCenter with the Perl VMware SDK 6.5

I use this code:

my ($Y,$M,$D,$H,$Min,$S,$st,$et);

   my $today = DateTime->now;
   $Y = $today->year;
   $M = $today->month;
   $D = $today->day;
   $H = $today->hour;
   $Min = $today->minute;
   $S = $today->second;
   $st = DateTime->new( year => $Y, month => $M, day => $D-1, hour => $H , minute => $Min , second => $S);

$et = DateTime->new( year => $Y, month => $M, day => $D , hour => $H , minute => $Min , second => $S);

my $timeSpec = EventFilterSpecByTime->new(beginTime => $st);

   my $filterSpec = EventFilterSpec->new(time => $timeSpec, type => ["VmCreatedEvent", "VmClonedEvent","VmDeployedEvent", "VmRegisteredEvent","VmRemovedEvent"]);
   my $content = Vim::get_service_content();
   my $eventMgr = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $content->eventManager);
   my $results = $eventMgr->CreateCollectorForEvents(filter => $filterSpec);
   my $eventCollector = Vim::get_view(mo_ref => $results);
   $eventCollector->ResetCollector();
   my $events = $eventCollector->latestPage;

But the time filter seems to be not working, I have some result from the last few days, if i change the range I have alway the same result, same if I delete the filterSpec.

With powercli and getvi-event I can get events from several month but for this need I need to use Perl.

Did you already success to use a filterspec with Perl?

Thanks,

Raphaël
