How do you want to POST the XML? Do you want to do a normal form POST or use multipart/form-data? The "key=value" format is used by the standard urlencoded format. In that case, you would need to encode the value. Be aware that most web servers aren't going to like receiving huge values with that kind of POST. Luckily, HTTP::Request will construct form-data requests for you if you give it the right arguments. 
$postRequest = HTTP::Request('POST' => $POST_URL,
       Content_Type => 'form-data',
       Content      => [ CLRCMRC_XML  => $finalXML ]);

to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
