My LWP post works great, except for the file is not getting there. See anything wrong with my code? Am I passing the content_type in correctly? I checked the path to the file, and it is correct. I also tried to read up on HTTP::Request::Common, but that didn't help me very much. THANKS! 

#!/usr/lib/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent( "Mozilla/4.5" );
$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

# configure LWP::UserAgent to follow redirects after POST
push @{ $ua->requests_redirectable }, 'POST';

$ua->request(POST "http://www.somesite.com/login.cfm",
                        {
                            username    =>"test",
                            password    =>"abc",
                            submit        =>"Submit"
                        });

my $request = $ua->request(POST "http://www.somesite.com/editproduct.c
+fm",
       Content_Type => 'multipart/form-data',
       Content      => [            
                            name        =>"Name",
                            zfile        =>"$ENV{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/filena
+me.zip",
                            update        =>"Update"
                        ]);

$b = $request->is_success ? "Application information updated successfu
+lly.\n" : "Error during update of application information. The error 
+has been logged and will be reviewed.\n";
print $b;
