Writing NETCONF Perl Client Applications

Juniper Networks provides a Perl module, called NET::Netconf::Manager, to help you more quickly and easily develop custom NETCONF scripts for configuring and monitoring switches, routers, and security devices. The module implements a NET::Netconf::Manager object that client applications can use to communicate with the NETCONF server on a device. The Perl distribution includes several sample Perl scripts, which illustrate how to use the module in scripts that perform various functions.
