Use WWW::Mechanize, which is a wrapper around LWP and includes many 
useful examples of POSTing data.





Or if you like yours 'neat'

use LWP;
my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => 'http://fancywebservice.com');
my $xml = get_xml_data(); # your function here
my $length = length($xml);
$req->content($xml);
$req->header('Content-length' => $length);

my $res =  $ua->request($req);
my $response_data = $res->content;

you might want to do a little more reading after this point.
