Set CURLOPT_VERBOSE to 1 and you'll get to see the entire HTTP request curl
makes, it often explains enough.

I bet this fails because CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS wants a string, not an array
reference.

Try something like this:

  Curl::easy::setopt($curl, Curl::easy::CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, join("", @data));

For details on how to script HTML forms with curl, check out the
