ok, I hate to be some noob who shows up asking for help on their first post, but here goes it. I'm using LWP to post some form data, and have everything working fine, I'm running into issues with how this data is handled when coming from a seperate file though. The seperate data is listed as
'beta' => 'info',
'charly' => 'here',
'alpha' => 'something',
Everything works great if I pass it within the script to the array as such
@form_data = (
'beta' => 'info',
'charly' => 'here',
'alpha' => 'something',
);
But when grabbing as outlined below I get these semi colons, and it isn't processing them in my http headers, things also appear to be alphabetical
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
'alpha' => 'something',
: 'beta' => 'info',
'charly' => 'here',
a sample script is below
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new( );
my @custom_headers = (
'User-Agent' => 'Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)',
'Accept-Language' => 'en',
'Accept' =>
"text/html, text/plain, text/css, text/sgml, */*",
);
open (FORMFILE, "$dir/$formfile");
@form_data = <FORMFILE>;
close(FORMFILE);
open (INFO, "file.txt");
@temparray = <INFO>;
close(INFO);
$post_url = "http://www.somesite.com/something";
$post_html = "post.html";
my $post_response = $browser->post($post_url, @form_data, @custom_headers, ':content_file' => $post_html,);
