Basically I would like to have a POST will have the content length and
at the end a data section containing at the end
name=Philip&gender=mail
which can be read on the server side CGI with
query->param('name')
and
query->param('gender')

Well, fixing the typo of missing quotes around the URL, what you will
have done there is created a request with a couple of curious HTTP
headers "name" and "gender". And absolutely no content inside the post
data.
You can use HTTP::Request::Common which provides a helper function POST
that will generate a properly formated HTTP::Request object.
