Hi Mohan,

Are you using your REST client correctly?  I'm not super familiar with perl, but I would assume that a method called setHost is not meant to take a URL path.  You could try something like this:

$client->setHost('Cru_Server:8060');

$client->GET('/cru/rest-service/reviews-v1/filter/allOpenReviews',$headers);

You may also need to set the port separately to the host?
