in reply to Perl parsing of multipart content

getting a message that CGI.pm is delisted in the standard perl suite

Sure, so it becomes like the other 99.9% of the modules on CPAN. Download, install, use.

Could someone point me to an example where perl is used to receive the file selected via the multipart form, and then parsed out to filename, and file content segments.

See the CGI::Lite example or the CGI.pm one. If you need more than these then perhaps you could provide an SSCCE so we can see where you are getting stuck?
