POST variables via cURL? [make money + updated]

Anyone know the best way to send POST variables via cURL? Basically I want to be able to have my script be able to hop through registration hoops. No, I am not automating registrations to send spam. I just want to have scripts access pages that need a log-in (that I pay for).

If anyone can give me the code in PHP to access let’s say current NYT articles (given any username/password), I’ll PayPal you $25. It doesn’t have to be complete, I just need the cURL curl_setopt() stuff. Once I get it working, I’ll send you the money. First working solution wins.

Deal’s off. I’ll roll my own. Oh, and the new PHP|Arcitect has the answer. God I love that thing.
