do you need to get an answer back?

but assuming it was where you thought it was suppose
to be - and you know what it took for either the
GET or POST Method - why not use  something like:

 use URI;
 $uri = URI->new("$the_url");

 use LWP::UserAgent;

 my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
 my $req = HTTP::Request->new(POST => $the_url );
 $req->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencoded');
 $req->content($post_string);
my $res = $ua->request($req);

 if ($res->is_success) {
 parseTreeBack($res);
 } # else cope with the fact that it hates you

then all you have to do is 'fill in' the $post_string as
the expected 'post' type

VAR=VALUE collection

my $post_string = 'ourInputStrings=';
 $post_string .= "$_ " foreach (@args) ;

that I used because I wrote the other CGI and called
the 'VAR' "ourInputStrings" - it was dopy... so sue me,
I was young, the moon was full...
