Hi there.

This may not be a "pure" PERL question, but I think it's an interesting case, and I hope that somebody here had passed trough the same thing.

I have a html form that can't use the enctype="multipart/form-data" stuff or one of my subs wont work. In this same form I have a <input type="file"> field that, once filled should put the specified file in the server.

The thing is that if I don't use the enctype, the file is written with it's name as it's content.

This is the original piece of code that works with enctype: 
open(ARQ,">$dir$foo_file");
binmode ARQ;
print ARQ $foo_file;
close(ARQ);

I'm getting the form data from a sub written by me that goes as follows: 
sub GetForm
{
    $n = 0;
       
    read(STDIN,$buffer,$ENV{'CONTENT_LENGTH'});
    @par = split(/&/, $buffer);
    open (TXT,">dsp.txt");
    foreach $temp (@par)
        {
            my ($nome,$valor) = split(/=/,$temp);
            $valor =~ tr/+/ /;
            $valor =~ s/%([0-9a-fA-F][0-9a-fA-F])/pack("C",hex($1))/eg
+;
            $valores[$n] = $valor;
            $n++;
        }
    close(TXT);
}

I've had to do it this way because I have a <select multiple> and I need to get all selected values from it.

Any comments, possible solutions, tips would be gratefully appreciated.
