First, thanks for your response sedhed. I tried your script and using the form I posted earlier on this thread, came up with some confusing results. Note that I added a text field on the form to make sure that it was sending something in the post. When I uploaded a small text file, the CGI responded with "Got squat" (even though the text field had text in it). When I uploaded a larger (90kb) image file, Netscape responded (client side)"A network error occurred while Netscape was sending data. (Network error: Connection Aborted). Try Connecting again." IE responded with "Cannot find server or DNS error". I added the line $cgi_lib::maxdata = 2000000; to make sure that size limitations wern't the problem. This code did not fix the problem. I can upload a 70kb file (getting "got squat" as the answer), but not a 90kb (or larger) file. The script is running on a PII 400Mhz server, which is on the same LAN as my machine, so bandwidth is not an issue (100BaseT ethernet). Any ideas? Thanks for your help.
