• Access to the Perl exit function from within a script. If the Perl script exits with a zero exit code, the script ceases operation and NetMRI sets the job status to OK. If the Perl script exits with a non-zero exit code it causes the script to cease operation and NetMRI sets the job status to Error;
• Ability to mark problem commands and perform try/catch exception handling;
• A logging function, available in the infoblox_job.pl file;
• A LIbraries page (see Using Perl or Python Libraries for  for more information) containing blocks of Perl code to be referenced by other Perl scripts. The Libraries page supports creation, editing, deletion, and import and export of snippets of Perl code;
• Refer to lists of data to fill variables and find matches during job batch processing, extract information and parse the returned data (see the section Defining Lists for ACM, Perl, Python, and CCS Script Reference for  for more information);
• Use of standard NetMRI variables and data model objects in scripting logic. NetMRI automatically associates variables with target devices during runtime. Users can define input and internal variables that can be mapped to the NetMRI data model. The data model also provides access to device and interface attributes;
• Users can open multiple, simultaneous, device connections from within scripts, enabling change coordination between multiple devices in sequence or in parallel, based on common elements such as VLAN membership or neighbor topology. The feature is helpful in advanced use cases: for example, a script opens a connection to a network device, encounters a configuration element, and opens new connections to other, similar devices for comparison and determines the action to take on the current device;
• Regular expression processing, without restrictions on data structure types where regular expressions can be used, including script input variables, device output, data from external files, lists and NetMRI data model information.
