try something like this (from `perldoc lwpcook`): `use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); use LWP::UserAgent; $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new; my $req = POST 'http://www.perl.com/cgi-bin/BugGlimpse', [ search => 'www', errors => 0 ]; print $ua->request($req)->as_string;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

perldoc lwpcook

use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST);
use LWP::UserAgent;
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;

my $req = POST 'http://www.perl.com/cgi-bin/BugGlimpse',
        [ search => 'www', errors => 0 ];

print $ua->request($req)->as_string;
