I got this error HTTP::Message content must be bytes when running my program (it uses WWW::Mechanize). Here is the code:

    my $query = qq{
        
        <root><post_form_data_action object_name="$object->{reference_
+name}" object_id="$object->{reference_id}" object_version="1" form_na
+me="Bookmark" form_context="create" process_id="$object->{process_id}
+" > 
        <post_attribute_data attribute_name="SocialMediaAccount" >$acc
+ount</post_attribute_data> 
        <post_attribute_data attribute_name="Url" >$object->{url}</pos
+t_attribute_data> 
        <post_attribute_data attribute_name="Title" >$object->{title}<

        <post_attribute_data attribute_name="Content" >$object->{conte

        <post_attribute_data attribute_name="Category" ></post_attribu
+te_data> 
        </post_form_data_action> 
        </root>
    };
    
    $mech->post( $CONFIG{BASE_URL} . "/synnd/webif.awr?undefined", Con
+tent => $query );

This error occurs only on few results but it's very weird. I look into $query and it's looks like containig only ASCII. I save $query value to the file with: 

        open my $error, ">", "error.txt" or die $!;
        print $error $query;
        close $error;

Here is $query which produce the error:

        <root><post_form_data_action object_name="Buzz" object_id="-23
