The reason, I was trying to use HTML::TreeBuilder and
HTTP::Request::Form to fill-out a form and submit that, rather than raw
POST, e.g.:

have you tried mech for this?  I haven't but have always wanted to

  http://search.cpan.org/dist/WWW-Mechanize/

What difference does it make?

There's some great syntactic sugar that make submitting forms relatively painless. I've used it in my A::T programs by grabbing the port number from the config hash and used a WWW::Mechanize->new object to do the calls.

Though it bypasses the A-T infrastructure, so if you are trying to rely on any of the features A-T provides, you can't. Which is probably OK for most people anyway.
