perl ConfigSync = Epic Fail

In the SDK, there is a ConfigSync.pl sample that illustrates how to use the ConfigSync methods with perl. I've just added it to the Wiki so you can get it from there as well.

The save_configuration method takes two parameters. The first is the file name, the second is the save flag. In perl, you need to use the string based representation of the flag as you did in your first example but in that one you didn't pass in the filename.

 

 

And for your second example, you'll just pass in the actual config name without the "config/" directory part.

 

 

Check out the sample and if it's not clear, let me know and I'll try to highlight it some more.
