In the developer docs, there is a section that talks about Ad Group Level Bid Modifiers :

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/adgroup-bid-modifiers

It states, "This guide contains examples in Java, refer to the client libraries page for examples in other languages."

However, in the Perl client library the only example of setting the bid modifier is at the campaign level and not the adgroup level.

https://code.google.com/p/google-api-adwords-perl/source/browse/tags/current/examples/v201302/campaign_management/set_bid_modifier.pl

When will this be added to the Perl examples?

I don't see the AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface module in the perl client library :

$ perldoc Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface
No documentation found for "Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierServiceInterface".

In fact there are multiple modules that are not in the perl client library :

17:26:27 etienne@abu:~/backend/search_marketing/data_exchange/lib$ perldoc Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierOperation
No documentation found for "Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierOperation".
17:26:47 etienne@abu:~/backend/search_marketing/data_exchange/lib$ perldoc Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifier
No documentation found for "Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifier".
17:26:52 etienne@abu:~/backend/search_marketing/data_exchange/lib$ perldoc Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierReturnValue
No documentation found for "Google::Ads::AdWords::v201302::AdGroupBidModifierReturnValue".

But are part of the example in the "Adding, updating and removing bid adjustments" section of the docs :
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/adgroup-bid-modifiers

Hi Etienne,

We are in the process of adding support for adgroup bid modifiers to all our client libraries. The next update to Perl library will contain the necessary support.

Cheers,

Is there any kind of timeline when to expect this to be available in the Perl client library?

So I can make the API call successfully, but when will the Adwords interface be updated to show this new adgroup setting?

Is this information publicly available since the response on google groups posts seems to almost never happen?

I see the examples for the various v201406 libraries for creating new bid multipliers for existing adgroups.  Anyone have a working code example (or just the SOAP XML would be fine) of modifiying an existing adgroups bid multiplier?
thanks
