URL missing is not a webserver response, it signifies that you didn't pass the URL: 
my $request = HTTP::Request->new(POST 'http://example.com', Content_Ty
+pe => 'multipart/form-data', Content => [file_0 => ['options2.txt']])
+;

You're missing => after POST. Which probably explains the immediate error: POST 'http://..' is seen as a function call (from HTTP:::Request::Common) instead of a string.

AFAIK the content should be added using the content method, not as an argument to the constructor (since constructor arguments are all parsed as headers. See HTTP::Request

Anyway, using WWW::Mechanize will probably be easier and make your code a bit more robust.
