Auuuuugh!!!
I am being tortured at the rack of DOS shell scripting, having been tasked with coordinating the activities of a VMWare client and a VMWare server. Between the kludgy client API that VMWare provides and the unlimited limitations of DOS shell scripting, I feel stretched to the breaking point and covered in some undesirable wet substance.
Every time I try to align the two sides together in an approach that I would consider rational, I find out that what I am trying to accomplish is not either supported by the underlying framework or so poorly documented that my Google Fu efforts are thwarted and I can't figure out the correct function calls to get the damned thing to work properly.
Not only that, but my hated language enemy, Perl, seems to be revelling in my dismay, flaunting most of the functionality that I need while I suffer.
Man, you know you're in a bad state when you start to anthropomorphize programming languages.

Seriously, you can also try the VMTN SDK Forum where folks may be able to help.
