Famous saying: "If all else fails, try the manual". :-)
Quote from the man page:
"If you start the data with the letter @, the rest should be a file name
to read the data from, or - if you want curl to read the data from
stdin. The contents of the file must already be url-encoded. Multiple
files can also be specified. Posting data from a file named 'foobar'
would thus be done with --data @foobar."
So, put the data in a file, and use -d @<filename>.
