It's Perl-based, so you can run it on any host with Perl installed (including a BIG-IP). You need the SOAP::Lite package installed.
Save the text to a file. Make the file executable. Then run it with no options to get the usage printed out: ./script_name.pl
Usage: PoolMember.pl host port uid pwd ([pool] AND [enable|disable])
host is the IP or hostname of the BIG-IP. Port should be 443. The uid/pwd are the BIG-IP username and password.
The script is clearly commented, so you can see what it's doing by checking the Main subroutine ( Main logic).
