Esteemed monks, i require your assistance.
I have written a perl program which uses WWW::Mechanize. I am using a "post" method. But while executing i am getting the following error.
The piece of code that it points to
$request =POST "http://www.abc.com/ChooseZone.aspx?type=A" , [
    '__EVENTTARGET' => "rdlZone_0",
    '__EVENTARGUMENT' => "",
    '__VIEWSTATE' => "dDw0NzUyOTE0NzQ7",
    'rdlZone' => "1",
] ;

The error is as below
String found where operator expected at stats.plx line 18, near "POST 
+"http://www.abc.com/ChooseZone.aspx?type=A""
        (Do you need to predeclare POST?)
syntax error at stats.plx line 18, near "POST "http://www.abc.com/Choo
+seZone.aspx?type=A""

Please assist
Note: the code was generated by a javascript monitoring proxy program
UPDATE: PROBLEM SOLVED
