in reply to Post with parameters using hash

try :
my $request = POST "http://www.server.com", \%hiddenhash ;
From perldoc LWP another way:
# Create a user agent object
         use LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
         $ua->agent("AgentName/0.1 " . $ua->agent);

         # Create a request

         my $req = new HTTP::Request POST => 'http://www.perl.com/cgi-
+bin/BugGlimpse';
         $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
         $req->content('match=www&errors=0');

         # Pass request to the user agent and get a response back
         my $res = $ua->request($req);

         # Check the outcome of the response
         if ($res->is_success) {
             print $res->content;
         } else {
             print "Bad luck this time\n";
         }

    Is there a way to do it using hash? I can't use your method because one of the formvalue contains & and = which would cause another error.

    And I can't just do this because I have to build a form parameters using a for loop. 
     $request = POST "http://www.server.com", Content => [ $formname1 => '
+formvalue1', $formname2 => 'formvalue2' ];

    I have to build the parameters first using hash and do something like this. But this doesn't seem to be working. 
     $request = POST "http://www.server.com", Content => [ %hiddenhash ];
