Perl Gtm Pool Member script question/issue

command line of BIG-IP or another system? Have you installed Crypt-SSLeay?

This is from the command line of another system. SSLeay (at least the perl module for it) is installed:

 

 

kent@host:~$ cat /etc/redhat-release

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.6 (Tikanga)

 

kent@host:~$ rpm -qa | grep -i soap

 

perl-SOAP-Lite-0.712-5.el5

 

kent@host:~$ rpm -qa | grep -i ssleay

 

perl-Net-SSLeay-1.30-4.fc6

 

perl-Crypt-SSLeay-0.51-11.el5

 

Can you try to remove all "-->" from the code?

 

 

eg. from this :

 

sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials-->
{
  return "$sUID" => "$sPWD";
}

 

 

to:

 

 

sub SOAP::Transport::HTTP::Client::get_basic_credentials
{
  return "$sUID" => "$sPWD";
}

 

I removed the --> from line 63 and compilation gets past that, but errors out like this:

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 70, near "-> proxy"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 76, near ")"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 80, near "-> proxy"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 86, near ")"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 90, near "-> proxy"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 96, near ")"

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 131, at EOF

 

 

Looking at the code, there is a --> at the end of the line above. Removing them the only error left is the last one, and it changes to:

 

syntax error at gtmpoolmember.pl line 131, at EOF

 

Missing right curly or square bracket at gtmpoolmember.pl line 131, at end of line

 

Execution of gtmpoolmember.pl aborted due to compilation errors.

 

 

It looks like the code is not complete as that subroutine is not closed. Closing it does not improve the situation much, as I now just get a syntax error at line 132 near "}"

 

 

With regards to the --> mentioned above, if you look at lines 69, 79 and 89 you see the start of an HTML comment within the code. Could the code that makes the code all "pretty" be unintentionally munging the code as well?

It seems like you're right ... Maybe devcentral team could help on this?

Something got munged when we imported it into the new wiki. I've updated the codeshare entry with the original code from my personal stash of samples. Let me know if that works for you.

That works a whole lot better! :)

Great! Sorry for the mixup.

Looks like this page http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.PerlLocalLbRule.ashx still has the "-->" wiki import corruption that you speak of. You say that you updated the codeshare entry on 8/15/2011. But the last update in the history of this wiki page is 2011/07/01. Am I looking in the right place? Here's an example of what I see on that page?
