It actually needs to be a put. So im trying the below, but getting a 401 rejection even though it's basic auth. Is there a specific Mod I need to call for basic auth? 

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common;
use URI::Escape    qw( uri_escape );
use File::Slurp;
use LWP::Debug qw(+);
use Data::Dumper;

my $uid = "id";
my $upw = "pass";


my $message = read_file( '/tmp/1.xml' ) ;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new(agent => 'perl put');
$ua->credentials('host.com:80', '', $uid, $upw);

my $response = $ua->request(PUT 'http://host.com',
Content_Type => 'text/xml',
Content => $message);

print  $response->error_as_HTML unless $response->is_success;

print $response->content();
