Greetings, and Happy Holidays! I'm having a problem utilizing an API and its required fields with HTTP::Request::Common. The first request returns a token (this works), that is used by the second request to upload an image (my problem). I've tried numerous permutations but can't seem to nail it. There is no formal documentation for the api, so I've just been poking it with a pointy stick. The api requires the following: from a coworkers ruby program: 

 http = HTTPClient.new
 jpeg_path = "#{Rails.root}/#{[path]}"
 uri = URI.parse(url)
  File.open(jpeg_path) do |jpeg|
   headers = {"Authorization" => "Bearer #{auth_info['access_token']}"
+}
  body = { 'original' => jpeg, 'slug' => 'woohoo' }
  response = http.post(uri, body, headers)

This is what I have so far and the response 


 my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
    $browser->timeout(30);
    my $response = $browser->request(
        POST $upload_url,
        Content_Type => 'form-data',
        Headers => { Authorization => 'Bearer ' . $json_auth->{access_
+token} },

        Content      => [
 
                'slug'     => 'woohoo',
                Filedata => [$image],
        ]
    );
