Pseudo code would be something like:

sub save
{ my $self = shift;
  my $acs = Net::Cisco::ACS->new("hostname"=>"localhost");
  my $user = Net::Cisco::ACS::User->new("username"=>"foobar");
 $acs->create($user); # Blocking code
 # Calling create will take a few seconds
}

sub list 
{ my $self = shift;
  my $acs = Net::Cisco::ACS->new("hostname" => "localhost");
  my %users = $acs->users; # Blocking code
  # Calling users will take a few seconds
}

I don't need to call the API at that specific time. My original approach was to flag the record in my local database as 'created' or 'modified' and run a background process to make sure the local database synchronizes all flagged records with the application using the API. The list method would then only read from the database and make adjustments in the database.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
