put

$object->put( $property_name, $value );

The put() method allows fields of the object to be modified in the Domain Manager repository.

This method is used in a number of ways. However, the use of the pseudo-hash syntax is the preferred option for syntactic equivalence with the Domain Manager native ASL language, as shown:

 $obj->put( "Vendor", "Cisco" );
 $obj->{Vendor} = "Cisco";
 $obj->{ComposedOf} = [ ];

To set more than one property in a single call, use multiple name:value pairs, such as:

 $obj->put(Vendor => "Cisco",
   PrimaryOwnerContact => "Joe Bloggs");

You can also set more than one property in a single call, by using the following syntax:

 %updates = ( Vendor => "Cisco",
   PrimaryOwnerContact => "Joe Bloggs");
 $obj->put( %updates );

When using either syntax to set a relationship or list property, use a reference to a Perl array, such as:

 $obj->{ComposedOf} = [ $a, $b, $c ];
 $obj->put( "ComposedOf", \@things );

Use insertElement() and removeElement() to add or remove elements from a list.
