O'holy and absolutely beloved ones. Greetings

Apologies if this is not ethical

I have installed the ViPerl module successfully, however when I set the installation with this script 
#! c:/perl/bin/perl.exe

use Strict;
use Warnings;

use VMware::VIRuntime;

my $service_url = 'https://localhost/sdk/vimService';
my $userid ='administrator';
my $password ='password';

Vim::login(service_url => $service_url, user_name => $userid, password
+ => $password);

However I got this error msg back 
C:\VMware API Download\Scripts>TEST_VI.PL

Not sure what is causing this since every prerequisites have been installed!

Thanks in advance for your help
