Problem changing Partitions in Perl
I'm trying to list all the virtual servers in Test1. I'm trying a couple of different calls to try to get the partition (folder) to change to /Test1, but it doesn't seem to work.

Have you tried calling Management.Partition.get_partition_list() and/or Management.Folder.get_list() to get the list of available options? Keep in mind that top level folders are the same as the parititons. We originally developed partitions as a way to segment off configuration but we then added support for sub-folders within the partitions.
I wrote a tech tip a while back about folders (https://devcentral.f5.com/Tutorials/TechTips/tabid/63/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/1086495/iControl-101-24--Folders.aspx). You'll likely want to turn on the recursive query state to return a full listing instead of just the items in the "current" folder.
