I've got a text file I read into a variable (file3) then attempt to post. The form text area is "form_zone" and consists of many lines. With the same code I'm able to login to the site in a previous step so the problem must be the data from file3 is only outputting the first line of the text file.

A code snippet:

my $response = POST (URI, [ form_zone => @file3, submit => 'Submit', f
+orm_result => 'true', menu => 'edit_dns', user => 'username', auth =>
+ '*:strange_string', account => 'account_name', mbox => ''], REFERRER
+ => LAST_PAGE);

$request = $ua->request($response);
if ($request->is_success)
{
    print $request->content, "\n";
}
else
{
    print $request->status_line, "\n";
}

Any ideas would help!
