From exec_raw.php:

Note: for CSRF protection, this script cannot be called directly with a
GET parameter anymore. You must first call the script (GET) without any parameters
to obtain a current token, and then call it again (POST) while passing the token
value as the parameter __csrf_magic.

Minimal example in Perl:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use LWP::UserAgent;

my $m0n0wall_ip = "192.168.1.1";
my $m0n0wall_user = "admin";
my $m0n0wall_pass = "mono";
my $cmd = "dmesg";

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$ua->credentials("$m0n0wall_ip:80", ".", $m0n0wall_user, $m0n0wall_pass);

# get new CSRF magic token
my $res = $ua->get("http://$m0n0wall_ip/exec_raw.php");
my $csrftoken = $res->content;

# make a request to exec_raw.php
$res = $ua->post("http://$m0n0wall_ip/exec_raw.php", {
	'__csrf_magic' => $csrftoken,
	'cmd' => $cmd
});
print $res->content;
