Not sure this will be of any use since I can’t test but it does have the virtue of declaring its payload type and that sounds related; Mech is easier to work with than plain UA too. I added the query param for the auth type too in case it matters. You’ll have to tweak the user/pass.

use strictures;
use WWW::Mechanize;
use URI;
use MIME::Base64;

my $endpoint = URI->new("http://bamboohost/rest/api/latest/result/proj
+ectname-planname-latest/label");
$endpoint->query_form( os_authType => "basic" ); # In case anonymonk i
+s right.

my $xml = <<'';
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<label name="testlabel"/>

my $mech = WWW::Mechanize->new( autocheck => 0 );

$mech->default_header( Authorization => 'Basic ' . encode_base64( USER
+ . ':' . PASSWORD ) );

my $response = $mech->post( $endpoint,
                            Content_Type => "application/xml",
                            Content => $xml );

print $response->as_string;

Please don’t use basic auth in the wild without https.

(Update: fixed a couple code oversights but this is still probably not working code. Follow-up pending.)
