how to add a label to jira issue using REST::Client with perl

Question

I am using REST::Client in Perl to consume jira rest api. I am struck with add label to an existing jira. I am using PUT method with uri: https:/<>/rest/api/2/issue/ABC-123 with the body {"update": { "labels": [{"add":"Label_10" }] }} It is working with postman but not with JIRA::Client. I am getting error code 405 with JIRA::Client. Our build scripts are written in perl. Thanks in advance.

I have noted that, if you are using "POST" method, we will get 405 Status code. When I changed to "PUT" my issue got resolved.

I can't locate specific problem, but I think there is some issue in body content. The code below work for me, use REST::Client; use MIME::Base64; my $client = REST::Client->new(); my $username = ''; my $password = ''; my $body = '{"update": {"labels": [{"add": "Label_10"}]}}'; $client->getUseragent()->ssl_opts(verify_hostname => 0); $client->getUseragent()->ssl_opts(SSL_verify_mode => SSL_VERIFY_NONE); $client->setHost(""); $client->addHeader('Content-Type', 'application/json'); $client->addHeader('Accept', 'application/json'); $client->addHeader('Authorization', 'Basic ' . encode_base64($username . ':' . $password)); $client->PUT('/rest/api/2/issue/', $body); print $client->responseCode();
