These two lines:
var array:Array = new Array(new URLRequestHeader("Content-Type",
"text/html"));
request.contentType = array.toString();
send a very strange request to the server:
Second%5FPhone%5FNumber=0000000000000&Account=000000&Password=password
Removing the two lines send a proper POST request.
There is nothing wrong with your Flex code. The "Internal Server
Error" response is coming from the Perl script due to the strange request.
BTW. I figured this out using Charles (http://www.charlesproxy.com).
