Hello Gurus!
I am not new to Perl, however, pretty new to this module LWP::UserAgent, which I recently started using to send a http server and based on the request execute a proc in the database. Well, it didn't work. After a lot of searching through the code, I tried doing this: 
use DBI;
use LWP::UserAgent;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $r = $ua->post('http://localhost/');

my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Sybase:server=$server", '$uid', '$password
+') || die "Bad db server, no donuts!";
my $sql = "declare \@rc int exec \@rc = myProcName " . 
          "select \@rc";
$row = $dbh->selectall_arrayref($sql);
print $row->[0][0], "\n";

It fell into an infinite wait until I manually stopped execution by Ctrl-C. However, commenting out the line of the post request, the script runs successfully... whats going wrong here? Can anyone please suggest what's the problem here and if there are any workarounds...

I am using ActivePerl 5.6 on Windows.
