I have the following script

my %nodemetrics;

my @nodelist = qw(server1 server2);

my @system_attributes = qw(memory cpu disk network);

# Initialise the hash with zeros

foreach $node (@nodelist) {

        foreach (@system_attributes){
                $nodemetrics{$node}{$_} = 0;
        }
}

print Dumper(\%nodemetrics);

When I run this I get

$VAR1 = {
          'server2' => {
                         'network' => 0,
                         'memory' => 0,
                         'disk' => 0,
                         'cpu' => 0
                       },
          'server1' => {
                         'network' => 0,
                         'memory' => 0,
                         'disk' => 0,
                         'cpu' => 0
                       }
        };

Now I run an external command which returns pipe delimited data for one server. I store this in an array. For example I might have:

$string="1024|2200|30|100";
@data = split(/\|/,$string);

How do I 'copy' this array into one of the servers data? In other words for a particular server I need to populate its attributes with this array.

I know I could set each attribute one by one but that's cumbersome for a large number of attributes
