Can you show us the actual command run from the command line, along with the output of it, and provide us with the URL download link to the plugin that you are currently using?

Hello,

Here is the site where I downloaded the plugin : "https://github.com/op5/check_vmware_api", as well as the result of the command (screenshot).

There seems to be a bug with certain versions of the VMWare Perl SDK so try and install a newer version of the SDK and see if that fixes the issue.
