Hi there,

i have a problem with a quiet simple file-upload script.

Background: I've two websites both on the same server in different folders. I took the (working) script from one site with some small changes to use it also in the other one, but i cant get it to work.

Here ist the code: 
sub Upload {        my $dst = shift;     my $src = shift;      my $dat
+a;
  my $ext = $src;    $ext =~ s/^.*\.//;    $dst .= ".$ext";

  open (DATEI,'>',$dst) or die 'Error processing file: ',$!;

  binmode $src;        
  binmode DATEI;

  # --- Datei hochladen
  while(read $src,$data,640000) {        print DATEI $data;    }

  close DATEI;
}

[download]

The result is a zero-byte file. The problem appears at binmode $src;. After this line $! contains 'Bad file number'.

I tried to comment out this line but then the error appears after calling read().

Any ideas???

Regards, Frank
