Re: Re: File Sent via HTTP Content

therefore CGI.pm couldn't handle the data
That's like saying perl can't handle OO programming, yeah, perl(1|2|3|4) maybe.

Which version of CGI have you had problems? (it's not really a problem w/cgi, it handles more non-rfc conforming crap than anything out there)

Well, the entire system was written within a fortnight (database design,planning to the finish product) with me holed up in a B+B during the time, so it was a bit of a rush job. chromatic mentioned 'fixed the upload', well the plugin I had to work with cost the company I was working for $0.25million so getting it re-written in the time scale allowed wasn't a possibility.How would you use CGI.pm to handle the sort of crap I had to deal with (all the plugin sent to the server with the appropriate URL in the request, no other header data, and just the body just contained <doc>...<doc> - if CGI.pm could handle it, I'll re-write the system, but the upload was so 'broken' in regard to the RFC's I didn't see a way it could cope!
