Hi Random Walk, try to separate urlpath from POST params in the POST() call.

The manpage says:

POST ( $url, [$body_content, %$headers] )

[download]

[] meaning optional

I suggest you do something like this and see how it goes (untested):

my $client = REST::Client->new();
$client->setHost($wiki);
... # got token

# preparing a request:
$request = "action=edit&title=LookupAutomationTest&summary=test%20summ
+ary&text=article%20content";
$request .= '&format=json';
$request .= "&token=$token";
$client->POST($api, $request); # << separate path (e.g. "/mediawiki/ap
+i.php") from the request-params e.g. the ? part which is now in strin
+g $request.

[download]

'token' must be the last item in the params list according to the MediaWiki.

there is a pass in your code!
