(Perl) Transition from Http.PostUrlEncoded to Http.HttpReq

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated PostUrlEncoded method calls with HttpReq.

Sends the following raw HTTP request:

POST /echoPost.asp HTTP/1.1
Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 50

company=example&ip=111.111.111.111&url=example.com

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

# Do the equivalent using HttpReq.
# Your application creates a new, empty HttpResponse object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
