Perl
use chilkat();

$success = 0;

#  This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
#  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$ai = chilkat::CkAi->new();

#  For Azure AI Foundry we use "custom".
$ai->put_Provider("custom");

#  The base URL format for the Chat Completions API when using the cognitiveservices.azure.com domain is:
#  https://{resource-name}.cognitiveservices.azure.com/openai/deployments/{deployment-id}/chat/completions?api-version={api-version}

#  The string "{deployment}" in the base URL is dynamically replaced with the selected AI model each time a request is sent.
#  In this case, the chosen model (below) is "gpt-5.6-terra".  After substitution the base URL becomes: 
#  https://chilkat.cognitiveservices.azure.com/openai/deployments/gpt-5.6-terra/chat/completions?api-version=2025-01-01-preview

#  In this example, our resource name is "chilkat", and the api-version is "2025-01-01-preview"
$ai->put_BaseUrl("https://chilkat.cognitiveservices.azure.com/openai/deployments/{deployment}/chat/completions?api-version=2025-01-01-preview");
$ai->put_ApiSpec("ChatCompletions");

#  Use your provider's API key.
$ai->put_ApiKey("MY_API_KEY");

#  Choose a model.
$ai->put_Model("gpt-5.6-terra");

#  Add a text input.
$ai->InputAddText("Say Hello.");

#  Ask the AI for text output.
$success = $ai->Ask("text");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $ai->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Get the text response.
$sbResponse = chilkat::CkStringBuilder->new();
$ai->GetOutputTextSb($sbResponse);
print $sbResponse->getAsString() . "\r\n";

#  Sample output:
#  Hello! How can I assist you today?
