use $browser->post(...) instead of ->get.

Subject: LWP post, Cannot get result page
I have been trying to learn LWP Post, by going through an examples on the
web. Perl & LWP.
I try to search AbeBooks for the book "Codex Seraphinianus" from the main
page (AbeBooks). Here is the code that I am using:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use LWP
my $cookie_jar = HTTP::Cookies->new(file => "lwp_cookies.dat", autosave =>
1);
my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$browser->cookie_jar($cookie_jar);
my $response = $browser->get('http://www.abebooks.com',
["sts" => "t",
"an" => "",
"tn" => "Codex Seraphinianus",
"kn" => "",
"isbn" => ""
]
);
die "Error: ", $response->status_line, "\n" unless $response->is_success;
my $out_file = "result_seraph.html"; # where to save it
open(OUT, ">$out_file") || die "Can't write-open $out_file: $!";
binmode(OUT);
print OUT $response->content;
close(OUT);
But this just sends me back the content of the search page not the result
page. Anyone knows what the problems are? Anyone can show me a real working
code of LWP post? Thanks.
