LWP::UserAgent documentation says on the ->post() method:

...

       This method will use the POST() function from

"HTTP::Request::Common"

       to build the request.  See HTTP::Request::Common for a
       details on how to pass form content and
       other advanced features.

The request form you needed is POST($url, {field => "value"}), otherwise you will create HTTP headers, not POST data.

I made two errors pointed out by Ivan: (1) I dumbly forgot to wrap the hash args in curly braces and (2) I should NOT have encoded the field values.

With those two corrections all works well!

Thanks very much, Ivan.
