Re: Uploading Time

This has been asked about a lot. One recent discussion is here. The answer is that there are many ways to do it. :)

I recommend using File::Basename as a portable solution.

Hope it helps.

I cannot agree more strongly with this approach involving File::Basename suggested by jarich, it being the same which I employed, with HTTP::BrowserDetect for portability, for the file name determination in the CGI::Upload module. From the CGI::Upload module ... `# Determine and set the file system parsing routines # based upon HTTP client header information. # fileparse_set_fstype( sub { my $browser = HTTP::BrowserDetect->new; return 'MSWin32' if $browser->windows; return 'MacOS' if $browser->mac; $^O; } ); my @file = fileparse($cgi->param($param), '\.[^\.]*'); # Return undef if file name cannot be parsed from file # field parameter # return undef unless $file[0];` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

#   Determine and set the file system parsing routines

fileparse_set_fstype(
    sub {
        my $browser = HTTP::BrowserDetect->new;
        return 'MSWin32' if $browser->windows;
        return 'MacOS' if $browser->mac;
        $^O;
    }
);
my @file = fileparse($cgi->param($param), '\.[^\.]*');

#   Return undef if file name cannot be parsed from file 
#   field parameter
#
return undef unless $file[0];
