Here's a perl upload implementation:

        };

        open(IMAGE,"<$fileLocation") || die "open: $!";
        my $item;
        my $nread = sysread(IMAGE,$item,$size);

        my $boundary = "gallery3.upload.$$";

        my $json = JSON->new;

        $headers->header('Content-Length' => length $data);

        my $request= HTTP::Request->new('POST',$parent,$headers,$data);
        my $result = $ua->request($request);

        $result->content;
 }
