I have a requirement to send an xml using REST API through perl. below is the unix curl command which does exactly the same thing.

I noticed that REST::Client can be used to send the REST requests from Perl. post method syntax is : POST ( $url, $body_content, %$headers )

could some one help me figure out how to populate below required fields based on the POST syntax which was described above?? 

curl 
    -X POST 
    -H "Content-Type: multipart/form-data"
    -H "ABC_APP_ID: <Application_ID>"
    -H "IABC_APP_PASSWORD: <Application_Password>"
    -F "deliverable_file=@sample.xml"
    -F "data_transaction_code=SOA"
    -F "file_name=RRR-xxxxxxxxxx.mmddyyyy-hhmmss.ext"
    -F "agency_task_order_parameter=12345667890"
    -F "contractor_service_request_number=123456780123456789"
    -F "deliverable_type=Notification"
    -F "data_transaction_file_date=2016-01-21"
    -F "tags=["tagSample1", "tagSample2"]"
"http://<server>:<port>/cdx/abc/gsa/deliverables"
