curl in Perl (GET and POST)

kepler has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi,

I want to use in Perl the equivalente expression in Php:

curl -F "targets=@<filename>" "http://mydomain.com/script.php?<args>"

I provide a filename with text data (<filename>) and the args (<args>).

So it's a Post and Get request at the same time...

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Kepler

To kepler: there nothing wrong at cross posting questions in various places, but is is usually considered polite to indicate that that you are posting or have posted the same question elsewhere and to provide the link, so that people in one location don't spend time answering a questions that has already been solved somewhere else.

So it's a Post and Get request at the same time... Any ideas? It's just a POST where the URL being posted to has a query string. See the POST section of the LWP cookbook for examples of how to do this in Perl.	[reply]

So what is the question? What you posted isn't a "php" expression, so ... perlfunc, system, Capture::Tiny LWP	[reply]
