I'm having trouble getting my curl to post correctly with WWW::Curl, or at least having trouble mimicking the -d command line option.
The following shows the command line example that works using -k to turn off cert checking and -d to send the post arguments

(Command Line Example that works)
shell#curl -d 'level=2&pass=password&hsam_timeout=20' -k https://1.1.1
+.1/auth
AUTH: OK
SESSION: 4221231856

(EXAMPLE TEST with module distro t/new/06http-post.t)
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_URL,           $ENV{CURL_TEST_URL} );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_READFUNCTION,  \&read_callback );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_INFILESIZE,    $max );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_UPLOAD,        1 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' );
my $code = $curl->perform;

(My code that also turns off the ssl check)
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_URL,'https://1.1.1.1/auth?level=2&pass=password
+&hsam_timeout=20'            );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_READFUNCTION,  \&read_callback );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_INFILESIZE,    $max );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_UPLOAD,        1 );
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, 'POST' );
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER,0); 
$curl->setopt(CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST,0); 
my $code = $curl->perform;

Any ideas if I am doing this wrong? Do I need to use the following options instead?

$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_POST, 1);
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_POSTFIELDSIZE, 100);
$curl->setopt( CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, "level=2&pass=password&hsam_timeout
+=20");

Here is the error I'm getting:
