Re: how to get the sizes of a file when i use CGI.PM to upload it~~?

Maybe the file of uploaded file is stored in Content-Length: header, in CGI script you can get it via $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}.

Actually `$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}` contains more than just the file data. If you upload multiple files, or have other form fields, using `$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}` is way off. My guess would be either with length or with -s/stat. Update: Note that even tho you only send file data thru, the `$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}` still isn't the actual size of the file. Other data is send along, data which CGI novices don't need directly. Greetz Beatnik ... Quidquid perl dictum sit, altum viditur.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}
