Nimbostratususing perl iControl for system backups / archives
Hello:
At my organization, we are trying to automate system backups of F5 LTM appliances. After considering many methods, I decided to use the iControl method mentioned.

NimbostratusTake a look at the BigIP::iControl module on CPAN. It does what F5 failed to do by putting all api calls into a module instead of a bunch of scripts.
The python library is dynamic in that it reads on the source WSDL and generates the proxy code on the fly. I consider myself a perl hack and honestly don't know the best way to package up all the APIs into a Perl module that makes sense with all the ways iControl uses parameters and return structures. I'd be game into looking at this is I can get guidance from a perl guru out there on how the package should be defined across all our interfaces and methods.
