I'm running Gentoo, but that shouldn't make a difference. Here's what I
did:
- install various support perl packages as listed in the VMWare perl
tooklit 1.5 source install instructions. This is the one from ESX
3.5.
- install VMware-VIPerl-Toolkit-1.5.0-source.tar.gz
- copy the AppUtil directory as listed in the source code
- run the test cmd I posted earlier "echo stuff | fence_vi3"
I think the disconnect is probably due to differing vipertoolkit
versions.
I had also tried switching VIM2Runtime.pm with VIM25Runtime.pm, but to
no avail. Switching that line to VIRuntime is what did it.
