I am trying to mimic a form on a JSP site using LWP. The action attribute of the HTML form has the value of "/servlet/com.hhc.fileinfo" and the page's name is "fileinfo.jsp" (same as last bit of the action value, just with .jsp). I am trying to do an LWP post and send a file to upload just like the form allows me to, but I get this error message:

500 Internal Server Error
com.hhc.ProductAdminFileInfo:
java.io.IOException: Malformed line after disposition: Content-Length:
+ 15819

I try just submitting to the .jsp file of the page, but that doesn't work (returns me the page with just the form I submitted (there are multiple forms on the page). I don't know JSP well enough to understand what is going on. I have another script almost exactly similar (but for another site altogether) to this one that is posting files, but nothing else. Any ideas or help? Here is my code. 

#!/usr/lib/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use Crypt::SSLeay;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use HTTP::Cookies;
use LWP::Simple;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->agent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; Q312461
+)");

$ua->cookie_jar(HTTP::Cookies->new(file => 'cookie_jar', autosave =>1)
+);

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

$ua->request(POST "http://www.somejspsite.com/user_login.jsp",
  {
    username               => 'test123',
    password               => 'test',
    go                     => 'Log In',
  });
                                                                     
my $request = $ua->request(POST "https://www.somejspsite.com/servlet/c
+om.hhc.fileinfo",
  Content_Type  => 'multipart/form-data',
  Content       => [
  productId        =>"34234",
  home              =>"BLAH",
  file                =>["@env{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/files/image.gif"],
  go                =>"Upload"
  ]);
                        
$b = $request->as_string;
print $b;
