Before I dive in, I want to be sure I will be able to add data to fields on the post form that are not generated by WordPress but by a plugin. The plugin I’m using generates a text field on the post form which accepts the URL of an MP3 file. I want to be able to input data into this field using the API.

If it’s not possible, I’ll just stick with WWW::Mechanize.

  1. So using WordPress::XMLRPC I did something like this:

    my $post = { 
  title => 'test',
  mt_allow_comments => 0,
  description => '<p>description here</p>',
  custom_fields => [{key => 'enclosure', value => 'http://example.com/files/156842076.mp3'}],
};

$site->newPost($post, 0);
