Hi, I am using a Cropit.js to let my users customize their uploaded images but the problem is, it uses: data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0k... so what i did is i've used the MIME::Base64 Perl Module. So here's how i did it:
<!--
MY HTML FORM
-->
<form action="upload.pl" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<div class="image-editor">
<input type="file" class="cropit-image-input" />
<div class="cropit-preview"></div>
<div class="image-size-label">
Resize Image:
</div>
<input type="range" class="cropit-image-zoom-input" />
<input type="hidden" name="imagedata" class="hidden-image-data" />
<button type="submit">save</button>
</div>
</form>
<!--
END OF HTML FORM
-->

Here's my Perl Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use CGI;
use MIME::Base64;

my $arg=new CGI;

my $fetch_photo=$arg->param('imagedata');
my $decoded=MIME::Base64::decode_base64($fetch_photo);
my $filename;
$filename=int rand(1000).".png" if $fetch_photo=~/png/;
$filename=int rand(1000).".jpg" if $fetch_photo=~/jpg/;
open(FILE, ">img/$filename") or die 'err';
binmode FILE;
print FILE $decoded;
close(FILE);
