METHODS

listMetadata @queries

Accepts a list of types and folders, such as


            

              
              
{type => "CustomObject"},
{type => "Report", folder => "FooReports"}

and generates a list of file names suitable for turning into a WWW::SFDC::Manifest.

retrieveMetadata $manifest

Sets up a retrieval from then checks it until done. Returns the same data as checkRetrieval. Requires a manifest of the form:


            

              
              
my $manifest = {
  "ApexClass" => ["MyApexClass"],
  "CustomObject" => ["*", "Account", "User", 'Opportunity"],
  "Profile" => ["*"]
 };

deployMetadata $zipString, \%deployOptions

Takes a base64 zip file and deploys it. Deploy options will be passed verbatim into the request; see the metadata developer guide for a description.

deployRecentValidation $id

Calls deployRecentValidation with your successfully-validated deployment.
