Have you verified that you're sending what you think your sending? Sniff the traffic to make sure. You can also dump $req to ensure it is what you think it is.

You might also want to check out WWW::Mechanize which would do most of this for you. You seem do be doing a lot of the work the hard way.

Can you clarify what your setup is? You have this script POSTing to another CGI script. Are they running on the same server? Which one changed? Does the script still work from a unix machine? Have the module versions or the perl version changed in the process? What happens when you connect to the CGI script manually and send the same thing?
