I have the following code to upload a file to a webserver:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use CGI qw (:standard);
use CGI::Carp qw( fatalsToBrowser );

$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS=0;

print header;
$fh = upload('photo');
print h1("$fh");
open(PIC,'>>../pic.jpg') || die "Cannot open file: $!";
binmode(PIC) || die "Cannot binmode: $!";
while (<$fh>) {
     print $_;
}
close(PIC);
print br,Dump,br;

print br, img{src=>"../pic.jpg"};

Now I know it won't actually print to the file as it is, I changed the print statement so it should print straight to the browser. However, all it returns is

<h1>E:\309856393_0b02b023d6.jpg</h1><br /><ul>
<li><strong>photo</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>E:\309856393_0b02b023d6.jpg</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>submit</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>GO FOR IT</li>
</ul>
</ul><br /><br /><img src="../pic.jpg" />

in IE and

<h1>309856393_0b02b023d6.jpg</h1><br /><ul>
<li><strong>photo</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>309856393_0b02b023d6.jpg</li>
</ul>
<li><strong>submit</strong></li>
<ul>
<li>GO FOR IT</li>
</ul>
</ul><br /><br /><img src="../pic.jpg" />

in Firefox. It does this whether I do <$fh> or read($fh,$buffer,1024). Is there something I'm missing or do I need to do something else to make it read the file?

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
