Perl's excellent LWP::UserAgent in a global usertag works well.

Writing the usertag is an exercise for the reader, but a quick overview
of using LWP::UserAgent to POST is at:

Check out the usps_query tag for an example, too. 

For more info on LWP::UserAgent, "man lwpcook" at your favorite shell or
google for "lwpcook".
