Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Dear Perlmonks Community ...

I spend a lot of hours trying/searching for a right solution for my problem.
With a little script i am scanning my ftp directory, and then want to post this to a bulletin board of mine!

anything works fine, but the post only accept upto 256 chars (ithink)..

I read things about multipart, but couldnt get it run :(


$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;<br><br> ....<br><br> $response = (new LWP::UserAgent)->request(GET "http://xxx.xxxx.xxx/somewhat/bla/bboard/newthread.php?action=send&boa +rdid=4&styleid=2&subject=test&posticon=images/icons/text.gif&mode=0&s +ubmit=submit&message=@message");<br><br> ...<br><br>
the @message contains the big lines. in the bulletin board it is possible to paste a message with is much more over 256 chars.

My question is how can i post the whole string,not only till 256 chars? Many many thanks!

Greetings, Stefan.
