Hello,

I'm writing some code that interacts with a F5 BigIP load balancer using the BigIP::iControl Perl module.

However the .pm file available is very out of date compared to the API now available so I am having to manually update the .pm with the additional functionality I need.

I've used Perl for some time now, but never done anything like this, and I am having some issue with accessing the objects that are being returned to me.

The context of this might be irrelevant, but I wanted to give some background.

I am being given the following object, but I cannot work out how I can access the values inside the second bless:

$VAR1 = bless( [
                 bless( {
                          'availability_status' => 'AVAILABILITY_STATU
+S_RED',
                          'status_description' => 'Pool member has bee
+n marked down by a monitor',
                          'enabled_status' => 'ENABLED_STATUS_ENABLED'
                        }, 'LocalLB::ObjectStatus' ),
                 bless( {
                          'availability_status' => 'AVAILABILITY_STATU
+S_RED',
                          'status_description' => 'Pool member has bee
+n marked down by a monitor',
                          'enabled_status' => 'ENABLED_STATUS_ENABLED'
                        }, 'LocalLB::ObjectStatus' )
               ], 'LocalLB::ObjectStatus[]' );

It looks a little odd to me as I was not expecting to have a bless inside another bless object.

Here is the API and Method in question https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.LocalLB__Pool__get_member_object_status.ashx

Any help with this would be appreciated, let me know if you would like more information.

Thanks,

Darren
