Thanks for the response(s) - I appreciate you taking the time to help a novice

The following lines of code better illustrate the problem:

my $input_filehandle = upload( 'UPLOADFILE' );

sysopen(IN, $input_filehandle, O_RDONLY) || Error ('open','file');

sub Error {
print "The server can't $_[0] the $_[1]: $! \n";
exit;
      }
[download]

The above code returns the following error:

"The server can't open the file: No such file or directory"

Which (I think) means the program can't find the local file for reading?

I'll use the code you posted to try and debug a little further!

Thanks
