There are a number of examples of creating multipart form data for sending to a HTTP server.

I found very few, server side parsing examples. This ranged from getting a message that CGI.pm is delisted in the standard perl suite, to finding an HTTP::MultiPartParser library function, etc.

However when using the latter, HTTP::MultiPartParser functions, a 'boundary' pattern was required to be given when creating the object.

So, upon receiving content, how does one find the 'boundary' to then use HTTP::MultiPartParser to then parse the file?

Could someone point me to an example where perl is used to receive the file selected via the multipart form, and then parsed out to filename, and file content segments.

Thanks.
