This isn't a bug so much as a minor feature request. HTTP::Request::Common::POST handles file 
posting, but with RESTFUL web services you need to be able to do the same thing on a PUT. 
Right now this is achievable by simply doing:

my $req = POST ...;
$req->method('PUT');

But it's kind of hackish.

Me too; the put() method was totally throwing me for a loop before I 
found this bug report.

This should move to the HTTP::Message issue queue
