I regularly check William Lam’s section on the VMTN communities. William is definitely one of the most active contributors in terms of perl / vMA scripting. William wrote the famous ghettoVCB script which basically enables you to do full image level backups of your VMs. But that’s not the only script William wrote. He’s also written scripts for creating screenshots of VMs, resizing your vMA disks, hotplugging memory and CPUs, suspending VMs and a whole lot more. Definitely worth the bookmark: http://communities.vmware.com/docs/DOC-9852
