Sample Code: Yahoo::Marketing Perl Client Application
To access Enterprise Web Services (EWS) using the sample Yahoo::Marketing Perl client application, follow these instructions.
Environment
To set up your Perl environment, perform these tasks:
1. Install Perl 5.8.1 or higher.
2. Install the most recent version of Yahoo::Marketing Perl module from CPAN, and all of its dependencies. If you use the automated CPAN installation process, the dependencies should install automatically for you.
Note: If you plan to use two versions of the Marketing API simultaneously, for example, Version 1.0.0 and Version 2.0.0, you need to install two versions of the Yahoo::Marketing Perl module, and put one of the versions in a non-standard location, for example ~/perl/.
Contact your system administrator if you need help setting up your Perl environment.
