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
