Hi, I want to set the $content values in a request but I am not successfull.
$r = HTTP::Request->new( $method, $uri, $header, $content )> Method and uri are alright. Header optional. But I have to set the content to other values than the standard ones.

my $userAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new();

    
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://genome.ucsc.edu/cgi-b
+in/hgBlat?command=start',

 
                    [
    org => "D. majovensis",

                        userSeq => "$alignmentQuery",

                        submit => "submit",


                    ]
);


    my $response = $userAgent->request($request);

    
    if($response->is_success)

    {

        open(FILE, "> $_.html") or die $!;

        print FILE $response->content;

        close FILE;
    }

This is the code ... but I never get anything else than the standard page. Where is my fault. I know that maybe my §content values are incorect and so not taken by the javascript... Or is it anything else? That underlined thing should be in rectangular brackets. (Dont blame on me.. just help a poor man :) Thank you.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
