I found that
$driver->find_element('serial_id','name')->send_keys(567);
fails with the message
malformed JSON string, neither array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "\n\n<tit...") at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Selenium/Remote/RemoteConnection.pm line 90.

And with strace I found that the selenium server is reporting:
"POST /wd/hub/session/d5141551-2749-4df7-bd54-d24d9ac1791d/element/7/value HTTP/1.1\r\nTE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3\r\nConnection: TE, close\r\nAccept: application/json\r\nHost: localhost:4444\r\nUser-Agent: libwww-perl/6.03\r\nContent-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8\r\nContent-Length: 15\r\n\r\n{"value":[567]}"

The solution is to make sure it's a string: send_keys($var ."")

Add this line to WebElement.pm, line 103:

 map { $_ .= "" } @strings;

Do you have example HTML/JS/CSS I can use to verify the problem with PhantomJS?

Here is the HTML test case:

<html><head></head><body>
<form><input name="name" type="text"></form>
</body></html>

Here is the perl test program:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Selenium::Remote::Driver;

my $driver = Selenium::Remote::Driver->new( remote_server_addr => "localhost", port => 4444, browser_name => "firefox");
$driver->get("http://localhost/form.html");
$driver->find_element("name", "name")->send_keys(1234);
$driver->quit();

Here is the error returned by selenium:

Use of uninitialized value in string eq at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Selenium/Remote/Driver.pm line 249.

I'm new to github, so I hope I've committed my patch to the right place:
To https://github.com/aivaturi/Selenium-Remote-Driver.git, branch dist-zilla, commit 338872f

I think this be closed now that the dist-zilla branch has been merged. Re-open if I'm wrong.
