Hi,

build a http-request with the following form: 

your-url?name1=value1&name2=value2 a.s.o.

[download]
'?' starts your parameters, '&' divides them. All meta-signs of parameters should be represented by a %-sequence - to do this use URI::Escape: 
my $EscapedStr = URI::Escape::uri_escape('a string to be::escaped');

[download]

I guess you had a problem with these metasigns: e.g. a blank may be interpreted as the end of your url...

Anyway use the printf-equivalent and let the asp script print out the parameters to see if it works..
