Environment

To set up your Perl environment, perform these tasks:

1. Install Perl 5.8.1 or higher.

2. Install the following Perl modules, which are used in the sample code:

• Carp
• DateTime
• SOAP::Lite
• HTML::Entities
• Cache::FileCache
• DateTime::Format::W3CDTF
• Config::Properties

Carp is in Perl Core, so you should have it if you have a working Perl installation. All other modules above are available from CPAN. See http://www.cpan.org.

Note: Contact your system administrator if you need help setting up your Perl environment.

Source Code

For perl, the sample code includes API specific code and use cases. While API specific sample code helps you understand the usage of individual API, the use cases demonstrate a workflow or typical system usage.

Please refer to the Build and Run section below to know how to use these sample codes

API Specific Sample Code

The following sample codes are available for EWS APIs :

• addAdGroup.pl - Perl client sample for addAdGroup AdGroupService API
• addAds.pl - Perl client sample for addAds AdService API
• addCampaign.pl - Perl client sample for addCampaign CampaignService API
• addExcludedWordsToAdGroup.pl - Perl client sample for addExcludedWordsToAdGroup ExcludedWordsService API

• addTargetsToAdGroup.pl - Perl client application demonstrating the use of targeting APIs using the generic and extensible TargetingAttribute design.

Download All Source Files

You can download all the above sources : .zip, .tar.gz, .tar.bz2.

Build and Run

To build and run the Perl client application run through the following steps:

1. Download anyone of the above mentioned perl file say addCampaign.pl and sample data properties files (sample_data_*.properties), and save them to your local directory.

2. Edit the downloaded file(here addCampaign.pl) to contain your EWS credentials, which are defined as constants near the top of the file:

• EWS_USERNAME
• EWS_PASSWORD
• EWS_MASTER_ACCOUNT_ID
• EWS_ACCOUNT_ID
• EWS_LICENSE
• MARKET
• LOCALE

3. Run the script on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, or other Unix OS using this command:
