Modify DNS zone file with Cpanel Hooks Perl Module

Hi, I need to list and modify DNS records within Cpanel Hook perl code. I assume I have to use Cpanel API's as it runs as the cpanel user and needs privilege escalation to modify the DNS zone files. I have tried various methods without success ....
Cpanel::API::execute( 'ZoneEdit', 'add_zone_record', { domain => $domain, name => 'autoconfig.' . $sub, type => 'CNAME', cname => $domain . '.' } ); # didn't work use Cpanel::ZoneEdit; my %result = Cpanel::ZoneEdit::api2_fetchzone_records( { domain => $domain } ); my $filename = '/tmp/dumper.txt'; open(my $fh, '>', $filename) or die "Could not open file '$filename' $!"; use Data::Dumper qw(Dumper); print $fh Dumper \%result; close $fh; # this just returned undefined
What is the recommended method of doing this? A working example of listing zone records and modify one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Murray

  HI Michael, thanks for the reply but our Hooks module is in perl so PHP code is not helpful to me. Murray

  
  There's a useful thread for using our API within a Perl script at:
