I have a data structure that I'm using in LWP::UserAgent and I want to extract it into one variable.

Here's my curent data structure as seen in the POST method of LWP::UserAgent:
my $response = $browser->post(
 $udr,
 [
   "cellgroup" => "Chicago",
   "ucl" => "ALL",
   "table" => "AP",
   "gotcell" => "no",
   "col" => [ qw( KEY CPUTYPE INSTANCE SYSTEM ) ],
   "action" => "Get_Data"
   ],@netscape_headers
);

I want to extract the structure below out of the POST method and store it in a variable:
 [
   "cellgroup" => "Chicago",
   "ucl" => "ALL",
   "table" => "AP",
   "gotcell" => "no",
   "col" => [ qw( KEY CPUTYPE INSTANCE SYSTEM ) ],
   "action" => "Get_Data"
   ]

So my post method looks like:

 my $response = $browser->post( $udr, $post_elements, @netscape_headers );

I tried assiging the data structure to a HASH and even as a string, but it didn't work. How do I do this?
