Hi leefp,

My advice was very narrow in that it concentrated on how to be effective in doing a POST and ignored the bigger picture of uploading a file to server. I simply spotted that your POST params were in the wrong format and alerted you.

However, for this particular case, i.e. of uploading the contents of a file, you need to send the contents of the file as multipart/form-data.

HTTP::Request can take the name of the file (via Content => [ file => [$file] ], as poj suggested) and will take care of the rest (opening the file, encoding, etc.).

So, try to add a header of Content like poj said.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
