Step 4: Copy the generated code in Perl and paste into a text file. Here is an example of such a generated code:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Data::Dumper;
require ExperitestClient;
# Create client using defaults or using hostname and port number
my $client = SeeTest->new('localhost', 8890, 1);
$client->setProjectBaseDirectory("C:\\Users\\User\\workspace\\project1");
$client->setReporter2("html", "reports", "Untitled");
$client->setDevice("adb:Nexus 9");
$client->launch("com.experitest.ExperiBank/.LoginActivity", 1, 0);
$client->elementSendText("NATIVE", "id=usernameTextField", 0, "company");
$client->elementSendText("NATIVE", "id=passwordTextField", 0, "company");
$client->click("NATIVE", "text=Login", 0, 1);
# Generates a report of the test case.
# For more information - http://supportline.microfocus.com/Documentation/books/ASQ/SilkMobile/90/help/Report+Of+Executed+Test
$client->generateReport2(0);
# Releases the client so that other clients can approach the agent in the near future. 
$client->releaseClient();

Step 5: Save it with .pl extension.

Integrate to Perl:

Need to integrate the perl environment with Silk Mobile built-in clients located in the installation folder under the ../clients/perl subfolder
Copy the file Experitest.pm and paste it on the same directory where your Perl script is saved.
Need to install RPC::XML module:
1. Open ppm.bat (Perl Package Manager)

Select this package
1. Click on 'Run marked Actions'.
2. Wait for installation.
