Hello kanewilliam7777,

Some time ago (not more than 5-6 months) I wrote a small module for doing (GET, POST, DELETE, PUT and POST file). It should all what you need when you modify it to your requirements.

See the repo in GIT thanos1983/Perl5-MyClientRest-ClientRest.

Sample of how to call the module:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use MyClientRest::ClientRest;

my $host = "http://127.0.0.1:8000";

# instatiate class
my $object = new ClientRest( $host );

my $username = "user";
my $password = "password";
my $url = "/snippets/";
my $snippets = $object->getSnippets( $url, $username, $password );
# print Dumper $snippets;

my $hashRef = { "title" => "Test Title",
        "code" => "print \"Test PUT Thanos Request\"",
        "linenos" => "false",
        "language" => "perl",
        "character" => "\x{00AE}",
        "style" => "emacs" };

my %options = ( "url"      => $url,
        "hashRef"  => $hashRef,
        "username" => $username,
        "password" => $password );

# my $post = $object->postSnippets( %options );
# print Dumper $post;

my %optionsUpdate = ( "url"      => $url . '49/',
              "hashRef"  => $hashRef,
              "username" => $username,
              "password" => $password );

my $put = $object->putSnippets( %optionsUpdate );
print Dumper $put;

You need to configure it to your needs but it should be more than a good starting point. The module is very simple so it should be straight forward for modifications.

Hope this helps, BR.
