Thanks for the reply Shendal, but HTTP::Request::Common lacks some features that I need for this to work. Namely Authentication. It surprises me that HTTP::Request::Common would construct the headers in a diferent way than HTTP::Request.

I tried it with HTTP::Request::Common and got the following results: 
Code:
  my $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new;
  my $res = $ua->request(POST 'http://myserver.com/LLS/GenPublishMessa
+ge',
                         Content_Type => 'multipart/form-data',
                         [xmlmsg => $xmlmsg]);

Response:
HTTP/1.1 302 (Found) redirecting for authentication purposes
