iControl changed between v4 and v9 as the entire underlying architecture was rewritten and the APIs had too many differences in them. The v4 interfaces referenced objects that were no longer available on v9. For dynamic languages like Perl, you can just change the namespace by prefixing them with ITCM (ie ITCMLocalLB) and using the methods documented in the WSDL or the v4 SDK download in the iControl wiki. I believe there are some perl examples in that SDK download that show how to use some of the v4 interfaces.
