Hi,

I have a variable length array of files built up in my program that I wish to do an HTTP Post with using LWP with HTTP::Request::Common

Currently I am able to get this to work fine by doing:

my @files = ("C:/foo.jpg", "C:/bar.jpg");
my $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $req = POST $url, Content_Type => 'form-data',
    Content => [
        submit => 1,
        file1 =>  [ $files[0] ],
        file2 =>  [ $files[1] ],
    ];

[download]

However my array could have any number of files in it, and what I'd like to do is iterate through them all and dynamically add them to the to the HTTP Post content - Does anyone know how I can do this ?

Thanks,
Roadrunner.
