Hi, I read in [vmware\_guest documentation](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/vmware_guest_module.html#vmware-guest-module) that Linux based OSes requires Perl package to be installed for OS customizations. Do I have to install the perl package on the guest or on my ansible controller machine? Regards, Joerg ---

that sounds like on the guest that you create. So if you have a template you can clone then make sure it has perl. ---

Hi, I just took a look at my template which is a minimal installation of RHEL 7. It has Perl installed, already. So all requirements should be met. Regards, Joerg
