+========================================================================
+Please note that, by default, an underlying Perl module does certificate
+verification when communicating with vSphere hosts.
+
+You must create a file that contains the public keys of all of your
+vSphere hosts and then configure your Perl scripts to have the following
+line:
+$ENV{HTTPS_CA_FILE} = "/path/to/file";
+
+If you want to disable this important security feature, you may set the
+following variable to 0:
+$ENV{PERL_LWP_SSL_VERIFY_HOSTNAME}
