need to post a string without user intervention

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

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use SOAP::Lite ( +trace => 'all', readable => 1, outputxml => 1, );
##use XML ::Simple;
use CGI::Carp qw/fatalsToBrowser/;
use warnings;
print "Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8";
my $fieldsearch = 0;
my $fieldvalue = "cats";
my $message = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/enve
+lope/\" xmlns:xsd=\"http://babel.webservices.book.nielsen.com/xsd\">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <xsd:getSearchService>
         <xsd:param0>
            <xsd:clientId>BookmarcusBDWS01</xsd:clientId>
            <!--Optional:-->

               </xsd:fieldLogic>
               <xsd:fieldSearch>";

              my $FS = "</xsd:fieldSearch>
               <xsd:fieldValue>";

               my $FV = "</xsd:fieldValue></xsd:params>
            <xsd:password>mc709cpq264i</xsd:password>
            <xsd:requestId>TestSearch</xsd:requestId>

            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->
            <xsd:sortField>
               <xsd:sortField>1</xsd:sortField>
               <xsd:sortOrder>1</xsd:sortOrder>
            </xsd:sortField>
            <!--Optional:-->
            <xsd:territory>UK</xsd:territory>
            <xsd:to>4</xsd:to>
         </xsd:param0>
      </xsd:getSearchService>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>";
my $sendit= $message.$fieldsearch.$FS.$fieldvalue.$FV;
my $userAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://wsqa.nielsenbookdatao
+nline.com/webservices/services/BDOLWebService?wsdl');
$request->header(SOAPAction => '"http://babel.webservices.book.nielsen
+.com/xsd"');
$request->content($sendit);
$request->content_type("text/xml; charset=utf-8");
my $response = $userAgent->request($request);
if($response->code == 200) {
    my $last="";
$last = $response->as_string;
<b>my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $action = 'http://www.booksforeducation.com/testbed/fred.php';
my $form = {xml => $last};
my $response = $ua->post($action, $form);</b>
[download]

This produced a 500 internal server error but with just

my $userAgent = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://wsqa.nielsenbookdatao
+nline.com/webservices/services/BDOLWebService?wsdl');
$request->header(SOAPAction => '"http://babel.webservices.book.nielsen
+.com/xsd"');
$request->content($sendit);
$request->content_type("text/xml; charset=utf-8");
my $response = $userAgent->request($request);
if($response->code == 200) {
    my $last="";
$last = $response->as_string;
[download]

I can print the contents so the data is there.

Check your SOAP endpoint -- you're pointing to the WSDL document, which states: `<wsdl:service name="BDOLWebService"> <wsdl:port name="BDOLWebServiceSOAP11port_http" binding="axis2:BDO +LWebServiceSOAP11Binding"> <soap:address location="http://wsqa.nielsenbookdataonline.com/we +bservices/services/BDOLWebService"/> </wsdl:port> <wsdl:port name="BDOLWebServiceSOAP12port_http" binding="axis2:BDO +LWebServiceSOAP12Binding"> <soap12:address location="http://wsqa.nielsenbookdataonline.com/ +webservices/services/BDOLWebService"/> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service>` [download] Note how it does not have `?wsdl` at the end.

Thank you Monks for pointing out a potential flaw (I wouldn't know) the endpoints were provided by the webservice and are correct. I have managed to cobble this bit together and the data is returned complete to the script so I can only guess this is correct. However the main issue is I get a 500 error after changing the code from this `if($response->code == 200) { print $response->as_string; }` [download] to this `if($response->code == 200) { my $last=""; $last = $response->as_string; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $action = 'http://www.booksforeducation.com/testbed/fred.php'; my $form = {xml => $last}; my $response = $ua->post($action, $form); }` [download] So I guess the above script has no effect on the 500 internal server error. I am trying to post the result to another script (a php script) on the same server	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Okey dude. Let's say that you have your data in $last. Try smth like that: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); use LWP::UserAgent; my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $req = POST 'http://www.booksforeducation.com/testbed/fred.php', [ +XML => $last, ]; my $response = $ua->request( $req )->as_string; print $resposne; # That's the output from your php script...` [download] If you want to print the response, as html at your web server, you should add at the top `print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
