This is untested and I have to rush off but I hope it works

#!perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Headers;
use HTTP::Request;

my $content = join '', <DATA>;

my $ua = LWP::UserAgent->new();

my $h = HTTP::Headers->new(
    Content_Disposition => 'form-data; name="fname"; filename="deposit
+1.xml"',
    Content_Length      => length($content),
    Content_Type        => 'text/xml'
);

my $r = HTTP::Request->new('POST', 'http://search.cpan.org/', $h, $con
+tent);

my $response = $ua->request($r);

__DATA__

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
