That sounds like a "response". A "request" is what the client sends to the server. You can request a GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, etc. >The postbackurl, sample.url.com is where I need to send the data and >I'm not sure how to do this. Do what? Send data or parse xml? LWP::UserAgent will indeed send data, that's what request() does. Unfortunately, how HTTP works doesn't seem to be common knowledge because CGI has only ever used a very, very small subset of HTTP. As soon as you start dealing with web services, you really have to go back to the basics and understand the forgotten verbs. http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616.html http://www.ics.uci.edu/~fielding/pubs/dissertation/rest_arch_style.htm --Eric -- Anyone who has the power to make you believe absurdities has the power to make you commit injustices. --Voltaire --------------------------------------------------- http://scratchcomputing.com ---------------------------------------------------
