Gossamer Forum: General: Perl Programming: form auto submit (pedge)

hey, i have kind of asked this question before but its slightly revised.
i have a form (see below), it works if there is a submit button for the user to press, however i dont want to have one becuase this is a script that is processed by the system. so how do i submit the form without an action required? or is there a shortcut?

thanks
Pedge

Code:
 <form action="" method="post" name="test outbound" id="test outbound"> 
<textarea cols="70" rows="25" name="XML"> 
<?xml version="1.0" ?> 
<SMSMessage> 
  <SMSAuthentication> 

  </SMSAuthentication> 
  <SMSMessageData> 

  </SMSMessageData> 
</SMSMessage> 
</textarea> 
</form>

also tried

Code:

my $xml =q(
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<SMSMessage>
<SMSAuthentication>

</SMSAuthentication>
<SMSMessageData>

</SMSMessageData>
</SMSMessage>
); system (http://www.some_url.com?XML=$xml);

but that didnt work.
