Very helpful, but now I have that crazy HTTP 302 error.

The problem with HTTP error is caused by default behaviour of LWP::UserAgent. Sorry I forgot about it when I wrote my version of this script. LWP::UserAgent by default doesn't handles redirects after POST requests automatically. If you have not very old version of LWP::UserAgent you can redifine this behaviour using following sniplet: 

    push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

Also, Ilya you had simple_request on the second post. Did you mean to have just 'request' there?

I'm sorry. I did mean $ua->request instead of $ua->simple_request.

And do I not need "my $request = " on the first "$ua->request(POST..." line?

Since you do not use response object from first request there is no need to store it in any variable.

I have updated script in my first node with all fixes.
