Thanks the following code seems to work:

my $req = POST $wikiurl, [
    action	=> 'edit',
    post		=> '1',
    pagename	=> $wikipage,
    text		=> $text,
];

My initial goal is to be able to append time and date stamped text to 
the bottom of a page. As an anti spam measure I am planning to use a 
code embedded in the Subject line:

Subject: [MySecretCode] The rest of the subject goes here

Email with the wrong code would be ignored.

I understand Patrick's point about users not wanting to bother with 
CPAN, so I'll have a go at developing a PHP version too. There is a PHP 
mailer library that I have used in the past. I'll check to see if it 
could be uploaded to the user's cookbook directory and if it will work 
with the command line version of PHP.

Once I have a working version, I'll see if I can address the problem of 
simultaneous edits.

Ian.
