Posting to Ebay's FileExchange

[youthman]

Hello Guru's!

I am having my own personal nightmare right now! (Isn't everyone that is posting here?) I am hoping you all can help.
I am trying to post to EBay's FileExchange servers so that my wife and I can list things in bulk to our eBay account. This does not seem to be that big of an issue, but I am unable to get this to work! I know my database is good and works fine per eBay's rules as I can post it manually and it works. I believe the issue to be the actual post command and how it processes.
Here is what I have in the code . . .

$url="[URL unfurl="true"]https://bulksell.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?FileExchangeUpload";[/URL]

my $ua       = LWP::UserAgent->new();
my $response = $ua->post( $url, { 'token' => $token, 'file' => $thefile } );
my $content  = $response->decoded_content();

When I use this code to post to the site, I receive the following error message back from eBay:

This link is applicable only for programmatically upload. Otherwise the token you have entered may be wrong, please verify and upload again.

I have verified the Token, and it is correct.

The eBay documentation does not help much, but here is what it says about this . . .
Uploading files programmatically
To upload your file programmatically, send an HTTP Post request to the File Exchange server to accept the request:
1. Download and complete the appropriate File Exchange template.
2. Initiate an HTTPS connection and then post your data file with your token to the File Exchange URL:

https://bulksell.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?FileExchangeUpload

Tip: See Sample HTTP Post Request on page 50.
To indicate your data is processed, eBay sends an email message that includes the URL at which to access the Load Results report.

Here is the sample HTTP Post Request:
