WWW::Mechanize and POST

liri has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Anybody knows if it's possible to send a plain/vanilla post with WWW::Mechanize?

Something like $mech->send_post("POST /var.cgi=1312?das");
[download]

thanks.

As WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::UserAgent, it is completely possible to send a POST request via the `request` method that LWP::UserAgent exposes. See the LWP::UserAgent documentation, and likely HTTP::Request.	[reply] [d/l]
