hi, Sorry, my programming fu is too limited so I cannot answer your question. This is a part of the VMware API, so it is accessible. I got it to work assigning it like this: 
foreach (@$add_info) {
       if (  $_->identifierType->key eq "ServiceTag" ) {
             my $test = $_->identifierValue;
             print $test, "\n" ;
       }
    }

[download]
I dit try printing 
print $_->{identifierValue}, "\n";

[download]
And got this error: 
HostSystemIdentificationInfo=HASH(0xaf5bd70)->identifierValue

But if I assign that to a variable, it works. O well.

Update: your suggestion works, I missed the curly braces (blush), so I can skip one step (no need to assign anything).

Thanks! I have no points to give today, will give tomorrow
