# Define the host first. This will be the FQDN of your satellite system.
my $HOST = 'satellite.server.yourdomain.com';
# Now we create the client object that will be used throughout the
session.

# Next, we execute a login call, which returns a session identifier that
will
# be passed in all subsequent calls. The syntax of this call is
described at:
#
# http://$HOST/rpc/api/auth/login/
my $session = $client->call('auth.login', 'username', 'password');

# System calls.

# This next call returns a list of systems available to the user. The
# syntax of this call is described at:
#
# http://$HOST/rpc/api/system/list_user_systems/
#
# In the code snippet below, we dump data about our systems, and we
# capture the ID of the first system we find for future operations.
