Re: Problem Using POST

In cases of http applications that need debugging I would suggest the use of a http sniffer.
It can intercept all communication between the client and the server.
When in doubt you can actually see what is send back and forth, in this case it can show you how the form data is sent to the server.

Albeit this is not directly perl related, both the tamperdata and firebug extensions for the firefox browser offer a fairly straight forward "HTTP inspector/sniffer" interface. However, you might find it more beneficial to your perl knowledge to use the LWP Post command, or even roll your own proxy along the lines of HTTP::Recorder which can be used to create automated test scripts.
