help installing PAN::API?

Ash_uow — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 17:19:54 GMT

I am trying to run a perl script which uses “PAN::API” module to connect to Palo Alto firewall. I downloaded “Perl User-ID XML API.zip” and I tried to install PAN::API module by copying “API.pm” to “/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/”

But it complaining that PAN::API is not installed, error message: “Can't locate PAN/API.pm”

My platform is SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11

What am I doing wrong? Can you help please?

The README file says:

To install perform the following:
$ perl Makefile.PL

$ make

$ make test

$ sudo make install

worked for me.

I think I must have downloaded the wrong package (Perl User-ID XML API.zip).

There is neither “Makefile.PL” nor a “README” file in the package. Can someone kindly direct me to where I can download the “PAN::API” Perl module?

Thanks for your response however after installing “PAN-perl-20111226” as instructed, my script still complain that “PAN::API” is not installed.

Package “PAN-perl-20111226” provide “PAN::XAPI” not “PAN::API”

But my script requires “PAN::API” where can I download this from?

please check this link - https://live.paloaltonetworks.com/docs/DOC-2485 . I have updated the doc with the steps to create a perl environment before we install the PAN Perl API.

Copy “API.pm” to “/usr/lib/perl5/5.10.0/PAN”
