Hi,
I don't understand what you mean by asking about encoding form values. LWP
takes care of url encoding(see the content_type).
About documentation, sorry to say there's no extensive documentation
available out there. At least, I havent managed to find anything out there.
You may want to check out O'Reilly's site for the open book version of
Clinton Wong's "Web Client Programming with Perl'. I must warn you that
it's quite old.
There is also a good section on LWP in the 'Perl Programmer's reference
guide' you can find on www.perl.com.

.... now my question: Is there an easy method to encode the form values? DO
they need to be encoded? Is there any lengthy, readable non-pod
documentation out there? [I've looked, but didn't find anything helpful :-(].
