As long as you're not doing this on Windows (the CA Perl library is too hard 
to build for that platform so the Perl scripts are not available there) the 
caput.pl script will default to using the channel's native type when putting 
array data.  The main difference between caput.pl and caput is that caput.pl 
does not expect the array length to precede the data, but otherwise the two 
are very similar.
