Icontrol- using Microsoft Active Perl

Hello Every1,

 

 

I am newbie to the icontrol and programming field ( i am from a network security backgroud )

 

 

i am fascinated by what the icontrol is capable of doing and want to get my hands dirty on it

 

 

i thout i will use active perl ( microsoft ) to interface icontrol with f5

 

 

basically i want to give enable/disable permissions to end users to pool members ( main experiment )

 

 

to start with , can some1 point me to some links were i can achieve this

 

 

i have installed active perl , SOAP lite module , perl package manager , stumped to as towhat is next

 

 

any pointers in the right direction helps !

 

 

Cheers,

 

  • i had it working , i used the code from the code sharing section

     

    and executed the command perl PoolToggle.pl 192.168.186.100 https admin xxxxx

     

     

    it gave me the pool's configured on my VE LTM

     

    am so happy , now i need to read the code and understand what it means and how i can adjust to what i need
