I looked at the source of HTTP::Request::Form verified that it is indeed a bug in the module. It uses $fieldvals{$name} = $value; to set the value, clobbering any existing value for that name.

HTTP::Request::Common uses the query_form method of URI, whose documentation gives the following example:

$uri->query_form(foo => 1, foo => 2);
$uri->query_form(foo => [1, 2]);
$uri->query_form([ foo => 1, foo => 2 ]);
$uri->query_form([ foo => [1, 2] ]);
$uri->query_form({ foo => [1, 2] });

so:

$ua->request(POST 'http://somewhere/foo', [
   editions    => [qw( D A H )],
   other_input => 'its value',
]);

[download]

should do the trick
