Re^2: performing a POST on HTTPS using LWP module

I changed the line to

my $response = $lwp->post($url, {DATA=>our $USER, DATA=>our $PASS, VAL
+UE=>"Submit"} );
[download]

no help - just hangs - no error

Don't use a hashref (`{...}`) if you have multiple identical keys (for this purpose, the API also allows an arrayref). `my $hashref = {DATA=>"foo", DATA=>"bar", VALUE=>"Submit"}; use Data::Dumper; print Dumper $hashref; __END__ $VAR1 = { 'VALUE' => 'Submit', 'DATA' => 'bar' # where's 'foo'? };` [download] (not saying this will necessarily fix the hang, but it's wrong anyway) See also LWP::Debug.

Don't use a hashref ({...}) if you have multiple identical keys (for this purpose, the API also allows an arrayref).

my $hashref = {DATA=>"foo", DATA=>"bar", VALUE=>"Submit"};

use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper $hashref;

__END__
$VAR1 = {
          'VALUE' => 'Submit',
          'DATA' => 'bar'         # where's 'foo'?
        };
