The VMware VmPerl Scripting API was not installed

Error

# vmware-config.pl
The VMware VmPerl Scripting API was not installed.  Errors encountered during
compilation and installation of the module can be found here:
/tmp/vmware-config0

You will not be able to use the “vmware-cmd” program.

Errors can be found in the log file:
‘/tmp/vmware-config0/control-only/make.log’

Solution
# apt-get update
# apt-get install libssl-dev

Following packages are now new installed on the system:
libc6-dev libssl-dev linux-kernel-headers zlib1g-dev

# vmware-config.pl

After vmware is now properly configured, you can savely remove those packages again (but - let it be).
