Hi Team, I am trying to use arguments to pass information from the command line into a perl script. These are the IP, Email, the User and the password. The IP works but the rest does not get parsed into the req for the content. If I hardcode these the script works. 
##!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $username = "Polycom";
my $password = "789";
my $phoneip = $ARGV[0];
my $user = $ARGV[1];
my $Address = $ARGV[2];
my $passcode = $ARGV[3];

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(
    ssl_opts => { verify_hostname => 0 },
    protocols_allowed => ['https'],
);

my $URL = "https://$phoneip/api/v1/mgmt/skype/signIn";

{

# Create the request object and add the authentication header and cont
+ent
  my $req =  HTTP::Request->new(POST => $URL);
  $req->content_type('application/json');
  $req->authorization_basic( $username, $password );
  $req->content('{"data":{"Address": "$Address","User": "$user","Passw
+ord": "$passcode","Domain":"","LockCode":""}}');

# Send the request to the user agent and print the result
my $response = $ua->request($req);
print "\r\n";
print $response->decoded_content;
}

With the above, I am trying to help one of our customers to remotely sign into a Phone but I cannot parse the info. It must be something little but I am stuck. Could someone kindly help me out? I actually managed the same in Power Shell but I like to offer various examples to them. Best Regards Steffen
