I am attempting to update a host (DNS record). It is easy to code it such that 
it works. 

CODE: 

my $hostname = 'testing3'; 
my $host; 
my $hostrrid; 

my $netdot = Netdot::Client::REST->new( 
server =>'http://cannon.private.my.domain/netdot', 
username => 'pml4791', 
password => 'mca1304cwyl', 
); 

print "CREATE HOST\n"; 
my $data = {}; 
$data->{'zone'} = 'private.my.domain'; 
$data->{'info'} = "This is a comment"; 
$data->{'subnet'} = '10.35.4.0/24'; 
eval {$netdot->post('host?name='.$hostname, $data);}; 
if ($@) { 
print "Error creating host: $hostname \$data:\n", Dumper($data), $@; 
} 
else { 
print "SUCCESS create\n"; 
} 
$host = $netdot->get("host?name=$hostname"); 
($hostrrid) = keys %{$host->{RR}}; 
print Dumper($host); 

print "UPDATE HOST WITHOUT PROVIDING HOSTNAME\n"; 
$data = {}; 
$data->{info} = "This is a new comment"; 
eval {$netdot->post('host?rrid='.$hostrrid, $data);}; 
if ($@) { 
print "Error#1 updating host: $hostrrid \$data:\n", Dumper($data), $@; 
} 
else { 
print "SUCCESS update 1\n"; 
} 
$host = $netdot->get("host?name=$hostname"); 
($hostrrid) = keys %{$host->{RR}}; 
print Dumper($host); 

print "UPDATE HOST PROVIDING HOSTNAME\n"; 
$data = {}; 
$data->{name} = $hostname; 
$data->{info} = "This is a new comment"; 
eval {$netdot->post('host?rrid='.$hostrrid, $data);}; 
if ($@) { 
print "Error#2 updating host: $hostrrid \$data:\n", Dumper($data), $@; 
} 
else { 
print "SUCCESS update 2\n"; 
} 

my $host = $netdot->get("host?name=$hostname"); 
($hostrrid) = keys %{$host->{RR}}; 
print Dumper($host);
