I have read many nodes regarding file upload. I use 'strict' as much as possible.

I thought that there would be no problem integrating LWP on the client side and CGI on the server side but this does not seem to be the case.

I am using a call like this on the client: 

my $enctype = 'form-data/multipart';
$ua = LWP::UserAgent->new;
$req = POST $url, Content_Type => $enctype, Content => [
    p_progra_idint =>$p_progra_idint,
    p_upload    => [$path_file,$name_file]
    ];
$res = $ua->request($req);

And on the server side: 


$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 0;
$ENV{'TMPDIR'} = $tpath;

binmode(STDIN);
$req = new CGI(\*STDIN);
my $fh = $req->upload('p_upload');
my $buffer;
open (OUTFILE, ">$path_sortida") 
    or die "Unable to create upload output file $! \n";
binmode $fh;
binmode OUTFILE;
my ($bytes, $read);
$bytes = 0;
    
while ($read = read ($fh, $buffer, 16384)) {
    print OUTFILE $buffer;
    $bytes += $read;
    }
close OUTFILE;

Strangely, if I use 'form-data/multipart' all variables except the file are read perfectly on the server side, on the other hand if I use 'multipart/form-data' (which is what it should be) all sorts of erroneous variables are read.

With the first option as encoding, all vars are read, but 0 bytes of the file are returned after the bucle. The file is created but with zero size.

I have browsed the perlmonks archives and tutorials as well as done some obvious google querys, now I am lost and I am thinking on doing the parsing by hand on the server (ugh).

Thanks in advance.
