Check my response to diotalevi above.

It actually turns out that it is a combination of 1 and 2, as you'll see from the above response. They're doing things in a strange way (the folks who are accepting the XML), I'm guessing possibly so that they can accept other data in other form variables, but this other data could just as easily be added into one XML document...I don't know. Anyway, yes you are right, the Content-type was incorrect, but it was not being parsed on the accepting end anyway. You are also right again in that I'm not posting XML. I'm posting a form, without the proper content-type (which I could, in fact, send anyway if I wanted to because they're not parsing it anyway), with valid XML data in one of the form fields as a string.

It's weird. But Perl Monks rock!

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
