I'm not sure on the content ($json) variable I passed in the script. I assumed the below code works.

I didn't ask about the content of the request, I asked about the content of the response

Either one of two things is going on, you're running this as CGI and its failing because its not a CGI (no headers like FAQ says)

Or the response is 500 for some reason ...

So fix the cgi headers if that is the issue

Of examine (or show) the response to see if it says something more , to make sure it is a server response and not internal lwp response
