Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: CGI::Minimal does not work with enctype="multipart/form-data"?

I figured out my problem. In order to my CGI::Minimal work on my Windows 2000 system I need to initialize $cgi object this way:

binmode STDIN; # CGI::Minimal will freeze without it with multipart/fo
+rm-data forms
my $cgi = CGI::Minimal->new;

Once you do that, it works like a charm.

Well, is it really a bug or is it the intended behavior? I consider my knowledge of Perl to be intermediate, so I'm cautious to imply that he didn't indend that to happen. I did email him with the original description of the problem to the email I found in CGI::Minimal docs, but I haven't received a response. Btw, below is a piece of discussion from comp.lang.perl.misc: I wrote: - As soon as I add enctype="multipart/form-data" to my form tag, my script that uses CGI::Minimal never finishes. I know the problem is in CGI::Minimal, because CGI.pm and direct read from STDIN work just fine. Someone replied: - Why? Because it works one but not on the other? That's not a firm argument. Perhaps it is in your code! CGI::Minimal has proved to me to be a fine piece of code. I recommend you don't vent your opinion in this way to the CGI::Minimal author. To sum it up, I'm glad I can keep using CGI::Minimal	[reply]
