I am attempting to perform the following curl command in perl and I can't figure out what I doing wrong. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Here is my non-working perl code and working php code. In both the perl and php scripts the site returns a success status but in the perl code they don't get the data and webhook.

curl -X POST https://api.mysite.com/2022-01-08/enrich/upload -u any_string:{secure_token} -d data="testme@mysite.com" -d webhook="http://mywebhook.com/"

Non-Working Perl Code

#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use Data::Dumper;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(); 

my $url = "https://api.mysite.com/2022-01-08/enrich/upload";
my $data = 'testme@mysite.com';
my $webhook = "http://mywebhook.com/";

my $user = "any_string";
my $pwd = "{secure_token}";
my $content_type = "form-data";

$ua->credentials($user, $pwd);

my $response = $ua->post($url, Content_Type => $content_type, Content 
+=> [data => $data, webhook => $webhook] );

my $content = $response->as_string();

print ($content);

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_USERPWD, "$user:$pwd");

$data = "data=$data&webhook=$webhook";

curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $data);

//for debug only!
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);

$resp = curl_exec($curl);
curl_close($curl);
var_dump($resp);
