    You probably want to use a hash in Perl, not an array.

    my %data = (
  text1 => 'text',
  text2 => 'tes1',
  text3 => 'tes2',
);

    Also, your PHP syntax is wrong. Those colons should be => like in Perl.

    If you want to create HTTP posts, it is always quite instructive to look at the actual data that gets sent over the wire, regardless of the program(ming language) that generates the data.

    So, please look at the data that the PHP program sends to the remote end. It likely is not too hard to create similar data from within Perl, but without a specification things are much harder.

      well, it says missing data text1. thats the problem it cant get text1 data

      my $ua = HTTP::Tiny->new;

my $url = "link";

my $param = {
             text1 => 'text0',
             text2 => 'text01',
             text3 => 'text02',
             };


my $params = $ua->www_form_urlencode( $param );
my $response = $ua->post( $url . '/?' . $params );

        You are trying to send POST data like it was GET data.

        Try this:

        my $ua = HTTP::Tiny->new;

my $url = "link";

my $param = {
             text1 => 'text0',
             text2 => 'text01',
             text3 => 'text02',
             };

my $response = $ua->post_form($url, $param);

        In my previous reply I gave you very concrete steps to follow to investigate where the cause of your problems lies:

        1. So, please look at the data that the PHP program sends to the remote end.

        Which of these steps have you followed, and what were the results?

        What were the problems you encountered when trying the steps?

        Please try the steps again and report the exact results.

    well .. mmh.. Perl variable types are described in the very basic doc
