Have you even looked at the POD for HTTP::Request::Common? `HTTP::Request::Common::POST` is not a package, it's a subroutine (exported by default, so that could also be `my $req = POST($URL, ...);` ). The very least you can do before posting such an assumption is looking at the POD on search.cpan.org. Makeshifts last the longest.	[reply] [d/l]

`my $request = new HTTP::Request::Common::POST("$URL",` [download] adding the "new" gives me this error: `"Bareword found where operator expected at ./test.pl line 19, near "ne +w HTTP::Request::Common::POST" (Do you need to predeclare new?)"` [download] If I understand correctly, I have already created a new session with `$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

The "indirect object" syntax is source of many syntax problems. Rather omit it in order not to encounter such trouble. `my $request = HTTP::Request::Common::POST->new("$URL", #...` [download] In the end, this is Perl and needn't look like Java or C++ -- http://fruiture.de	[reply] [d/l]
