Some years ago, I used to work with WWW::Mechanize, where you POST'ed something via a call like 

$mech->post($url, \%data2post);

[download]

Today I started to study WWW::Mechanize::PhantomJS (kind of the hottest thing nowadays), and it turned out that the old-style calls (as above) no longer work, producing an error with HTTP::Request::Common.

Naturally, neither there are books/manuals on this new module, nor, sadly, any comprehensive examples on the Web to be found on the matter. Would greatly appreciate some experience on POST in the module shared.
