HTTP::Request::Common and form-data with PUT

[Bill Moseley]

We have a RESTful type of API and we have a logical object that contains an
audio file.   We can use HTTP::Request::Common to POST this object but PUT
doesn't work to update because the code for form-data seems to be specific
to the POST method in HTTP::Request::Common.


For example,

my $req = PUT(
    $url,
    Content_Type => 'form-data',
    Content => [
        audio_file => [ $path_to_audio_file ],
    ],
);

Not a SCALAR reference at /Users/moseley/perl5/lib/perl5/HTTP/Message.pm
line 158.


because it thinks I'm providing a callback for add_content.

Is there a reason why POST and PUT should not behave the same other than
the HTTP method name used?

Thanks,
