Hello vidals. I noticed the other threads you created on the same 
subject. Please try to keep your posts on a certain subject within the 
same thread you first created for that subject, and please only change 
the subject line when the subject truly changes.

LWP::UserAgent has the feature that you're looking for; did you read the 
documentation for that module?

Did you read Andy Lester's and Tim Allwine's messages?

use LWP::UserAgent;
my $url = 'http://sample.url.example.com/somescript';
my $lwp = LWP::UserAgent->new;
my $response = $lwp->post($url, { name1 => 'value1',
     name2 = 'value2' });

However, before you can be sure what to name your POST variables, you'll 
have to find out what the servers that will be receiving these requests 
require.

These are questions for you to consider when writing your program:
What is the exact URL to the script that processes the POST request?
What are the form names that are required?
What kind of POST request is expected (application/x-www-form-urlencoded 
  or multipart/form-data)?
