You're interested in the contents, but you're looking at the carrier - what you need is
HTTP::Request, probably:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use HTTP::Request;
my $host = 'what.ever.com';
my $uri = "http://$host/path/to/resource";
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $uri, [
Host => $host,
'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla whatever...',
Accept => 'text/xml,application/xml,...',
'Accept-Language' => 'en-us,en;q=0.5',
# you get the idea...
]);
print {*STDOUT} $request->as_string();
__END__
poletti@PolettiX:~/sviluppo/perl$ perl zer.pl
POST http://what.ever.com/path/to/resource
Accept: text/xml,application/xml,...
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Host: what.ever.com
User-Agent: Mozilla whatever...
And yes, if you have a
WWW::Mechanize (say
$mech) object, you can then simply call:
my $response = $mech->request($request);
You have probably to work out if cookies are automatically inserted or not, and act consequently.

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).
