Public bug reported:

When trying to use VMWare ESXi's command line commands, I got a bug
where the wrong perl libraries appeared to be linked, causing teh
program to fail.  Here is the error that I got running the command
/usr/bin/vmware-cmd:

Hyperia:/usr/bin> vmware-cmd 
/usr/bin/perl: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/perl/5.10/auto/XML/LibXML/Common/Common.so: undefined symbol: Perl_Tstack_sp_ptr

The solution appears to be to do the following:
sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev make build-essential
sudo cpan -fi XML::LibXML::Common XML::LibXML Class::MethodMaker

I'm using Ubuntu Server 9.04, in its default install configuration, with
the LAMP and OpenSSH server options installed.

When working correctly, the same command gives:
Hyperia:/usr/sbin> vmware-cmd
