Writing Perl Client Applications

Juniper Networks provides a Perl module, called JUNOS, to help you more quickly and easily develop custom Perl scripts for configuring and monitoring routing platforms. The module implements an object, called JUNOS::Device, that client applications can use to communicate with the JUNOScript server on a routing platform. Accompanying the JUNOS module are several sample Perl scripts, which illustrate how to use the module in scripts that perform various functions.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Overview of the JUNOS Module and Sample Scripts
• Downloading the JUNOS Module and Sample Scripts
• Tutorial: Writing Perl Client Applications
• Mapping CLI Commands to Perl Methods
