I have no knowledge about the vmware installation, but if you have more than one of these installations you might just copy perl and its libraries from the working installation.

Having said that, your error message shouldn't be a problem to fix. Obviously vmware uses a homegrown library which it doesn't search for in the usual locations.

So find the place VmPerl.pm is in the other machines (find / -name VmPerl.pm -print) and try to replicate that. Or see if the environment variables PERL5LIB or PERLLIB are set to something when the vmware scripts are run

Or set the PERL5LIB variable yourself to point to where you put VMware/VmPerl.pm.

By the way, when you tried to copy VmPerl.pm to a lib location, did you put it in a directory called VMware? If not you produced a library VmPerl instead of VMware::VmPerl the script was looking for
