Unable to successfully call SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest/createObject

[Buhrietoe]

Using the following guest definition and createObject call results in an HTTP 500 Internal Error:

my $client = SoftLayer::API::SOAP->new('SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest', undef, $api_username, $api_key);
my $myGuest = {
hostname => 'sl-test',
domain => 'softlayer.com',
startCpus => 1,
maxMemory => 1024,
hourlyBillingFlag => 1,
localDiskFlag => 1,
operatingSystemReferenceCode => 'CENTOS_6_64',
datacenter => {
name => "SJC01",
}
};
my $orderRet = $client->createObject($myGuest);

To create a Virtual_Guest with the perl client, you are going to need to bless it into the slapi::SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest class.

bless($myGuest,'slapi:SoftLayer_Virtual_Guest');
my $orderRet = $client->createObject($myGuest);
