in thread LWP::Useragent - File Upload

As I spent hours to make it finally work, here my working solution: 
    my $ua  = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    my $url = "http://your_url";
    my $filename = "d:\\clips\\videoclip.mp4";

    my $response = $ua->post($url,
        ['file' => [ $filename ]],
        'Content_Type' => 'form-data'  # add here more header paramete
+rs if necessary
    );

    And if you switch to single quotes, you can replace the double backslashes by single ones: 
    my $filename = 'd:\clips\videoclip.mp4';

      And I wonder whether backslashes are even necessary there. For most purposes (i.e. virtually everything outside of the brain-dead cmd "shells") forward slashes work just fine.
