In an effort to stop my wall from getting a bigger hole in it from my head, I post this question.. In the below code, I am posting HTTPS to a server with both headers and name/value pairs. I cannot for the life of me, get the headers to go in any way shaped or form. If I try to send the headers via "$headers (using HTTP::Headers), I get the error: Not an ARRAY reference at C:/Perl/lib/HTTP/Request/Common.pm line 82. Ok, so I change it to an array using @headers, no error this time, however, the name/value pairs do not get submitted along with the post, so I get errors in the response. If I remove the @headers from the POST line, I get the correct reponse from the server, but, of course I did not send any headers. Please help!!
