Hi there Perlmonks, I can't seem to figure out how to create a proper POST HTTP::Request in order to send files. When I use: 
$res = $ua->request(POST $server,
        Content_Type => 'form-data',
        Content => [ login => $ICT_login, 
            filenaamOriginal => $test_file,
                test=>'JA',
                filenaam => [$test_filename, $test_file],
                ]);

The files are transmitted to the webserver without any problems. I need to send files using a different method for creating a HTTP::Request object because I need to use the $req->proxy_authorization_basic method, which I can't access using the previous method. When I use the following code: 
$req = HTTP::Request->new (POST => $server,
                Content_Type => 'form-data',
                Content     =>  [login => $ICT_login,
                        filenaamOriginal => $test_file,
        test => 'JA',
        filenaam => [$test_filename,$test_file],
                        ]);

I get the following error message: Bad header argument at eclient.pl line 2035 My guts say this a very trivial problem but I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong ;-)

Thanks!
