I updated the code to read the file content using "File::Slurp".
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use File::Slurp;
use Data::Dumper;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $server_endpoint = "https://www.tothesite.com/place/44498/";
# set custom HTTP request header fields
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $server_endpoint);
$req->headers();
print Dumper( $req->headers() );
$req->header('x-auth-token' => 'Token e45ttkfksj48sdfj4jd9abcdd');
# add POST data to HTTP request body
my $filename = "first_text.txt";
my $data_file = read_file( $filename, { binmode => ':raw' } );
$req->content($data_file);
my $resp = $ua->request($req);
if ($resp->is_success) {
my $message = $resp->decoded_content;
print "Received reply: $message\n";
}else {
print "HTTP POST error code: ", $resp->code, "\n";
print "HTTP POST error message: ", $resp->message, "\n";
}
Now I am getting this error:
HTTP POST error code: 500
Do you know if this line is code syntax correct?
$req->header('x-auth-token' => 'Token e45ttkfksj48sdfj4jd9abcdd');

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
