Hi,

Im familiar with both WWW::Mechanize, LWP and all the other web request libs. But I need to make webrequest, where I can define all the headers. So is there a way I can make a perl script send a request like this:

POST http://google.no/ HTTP/1.1
Host: google.no
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1
+4) Gecko/2009082707 Firefox/3.0.14 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729) Paros/3.2.13
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.
+8
Accept-Language: en-us,en;q=0.5
Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*;q=0.7
Keep-Alive: 300
Proxy-Connection: keep-alive
Cookie: PREF=ID=067cb3c498f1ba5a:U

POST_DATA_HERE

The aim is to be able to set and craft the request in its entirety, and get the response back from the server
