Hi Klaus,
I changed the ISession_close to IMedium_close. Now it seems to work
fine. Hope it's fine.
The line changed is
vboxService->IMedium_close($session);
vboxService->IWebsessionManager_logoff($vbox);
[root at rhel5-64 samples]# ./clienttest.pl startvm rhel51_64
Subroutine XML::Parser::Lite::_parse_re redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/XML/Parser/Lite.pm line 144.
[clienttest] UUID: f542e7d2-35b3-4127-899d-a31af5837d55
[clienttest] Waiting for the remote session to open...
[clienttest] Completed: true
[clienttest] Result: 0
[root at rhel5-64 samples]#
Thanks,
Rajiv

Thanks Klaus.
I could start the vm now. One more small problem. It says "unrecognized
method Isession_close."
[root at rhel5-64 samples]# ./clienttest.pl startvm cm
Subroutine XML::Parser::Lite::_parse_re redefined at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/XML/Parser/Lite.pm line 144.
[clienttest] UUID: 20e53e59-fe2f-43f0-b89c-4419ede3a845
[clienttest] Waiting for the remote session to open...
[clienttest] Completed: true
[clienttest] Result: 0
Unrecognized method 'ISession_close'.
Regards,
Rajiv

Too many parameters for launchVMProcess - just leave out "$uuid,", plus
the first parameter needs to be $machine instead of $vbox. It always has
to match the Iwhatever type... the perl webservice code has a pretty
crude "manual" object orientation approach where "this" is passed as the
first parameter.
Then you should have more success.
