Concerning upload:
works now - poj found the point: also the eval...

Concerning security:
Not so relevant in this case. It's a private site with previous login. But anyway i want to know mor about this:

In between i've inserted $val =~ s/'/\\'/gms; before the eval-satement - not for security but to protect the '-character - maybe this is relevant...
I'm not sure how this might be used to run code. Can you give me an example??

I looked at 'CGI->VarsAsHash' but i dont really understand it. Especially the '\%hash' in the return-statement: what does the backslash do??
Also: is there returned a hash or single strings??

Thanks, Frank
