How can I update a field in the Perl output?

As you have described before, I can now get the value from the Perl output.

Now I want to update this field, which means I want to overwrite it. Let's say I want to change the status field to 'incomplete'.

I tried the following but it did not work:

$ssc->{geckStates}[0]{status} = 'THIS IS A WSDL TEST';

Open in new window

Can you please explain me how to do it?

Note: I am not sure it it matters but I communicate with a web application via a web service. And I try to upload a field in this application.

Thanks,

Actually, overwrite is not a right word in the question. I want to add someother text to that field like 'THIS IS A WSDL TEST'

That line of code will update the value in the perl data structure. You can see this by doing

print Dumper $ssc->{geckStates};

after the update line.

How to update the value in your web application completely depends on your web service and web app.

Sorry for the confusion. Actually this overwrites the solution field. But I wan to append it to that field. How can I do it?

So are you saying that you want to replace status 'Completed' with 'THIS IS A WSDL TEST' or that you want to add the string after Completed? The code you posted will do the former. For the latter, this will work:

$ssc->{geckStates}[0]{status} .= ' THIS IS A WSDL TEST';
