The problem comes when I perform a post_https operation. Every time I attempt to post, I receive the error message "Invalid Merchant Login or Account Inactive". However, I turn right around and perform a get_https operation using the same information and achieve desired results (i.e. a delimited response string).

Am I doing something wrong? Will using the get_https method produce the desired results? I can provide more info on what I am doing, if needed. Please someone help!!!

Below is my module code:

package Authnet;
my($VERSION) = '1.00';

use strict;
no strict 'refs';
use Net::SSLeay qw(get_https post_https sslcat make_headers make_form)
+;
