Problem converting MSWord docs

[barefootcoder]

Okay, I'm using code like so:

$self->_doclist->add_item({ title => $name, file => $file  })

where obviously $self->_doclist is a Net::Google::DocumentsList. Very simple. Now, if $file is a text document, or a PDF, this works fine. But if it's a Word doc, it fails. Here's the error I get:

call died with: request for 'https://docs.google.com/feeds/upload/create-session/default/private/full?upload_id=AEnB2UoUIo-pofTzW_axutk03wJeTNGNlmlWvSN_02vJvlj5ArhIcdN4GPlXV-FEiV-KqOiT3NF4nxPJpenrluA-dYED1wtZSg' failed:

If I try to upload the same file(s) manually, it works. Am I doing something wrong here?

Will you tell me how to reproduce? It worked fine from my box.

Hmmm ... it's very consistent for me. Both .doc and .docx files fail in my script, but work file when I upload them manually. I was wondering if maybe I wasn't setting some conversion flag or something ... can you send me a test .doc file and a script and let me try to upload those? I'll also try my test uploads again, just in case it was a transient error on Google's side.

Thanx for looking into it.

added test and docs.

you can run the test with (the test requires some CPAN modules and configurations)
