Help regarding HTTP::Request:POST

Hi All:

I'm facing an issue with the HTTP::Request:POST function.
My Code is trying to post some content to other applications
and should

get an appropriate response. Some of the calling
applications reside on

the same server as my application and a few reside on some
other
servers too.


The POST call fails when my application tries to send
content to
applications on other servers and if the content contains
some special
characters like ";" "\n" etc.
It truncates the content once it encounters the above
mentioned
characters and only partially the content is sent to the
application.
Hence i dont get the desired output from the application.


Below is a snippet of the code that performs the POST logic:


my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new() ;
my $request= HTTP::Request->new("POST", $URL,
$headers);
$request->content($contenttext);
$request->content_type('application/x-www-form-urlencode
d');


$contenttext - contains my content
$url - contains my calling application URL


Kindly let me know what can be the issue and a solution.


Thank You, 
Jamuna
