I am trying to use the following script to upload files from a WinXP client to a Win32 server.

#!/local/bin/perl
use CGI;

my $cgi = new CGI;
my $file = $cgi->param('uploadfile');
    
$file=~m/^.*(\\|\/)(.*)/;     # strip the remote path and keep the fil
+ename
my $name = $2;
open(LOCAL, ">$name") or die $!;
while(<$file>) {
    print LOCAL $_;
    }
print $cgi->header();
print "$file has been successfully uploaded... thank you.\n";

The problem I'm having is that when the local file on the WinXP client is written to the server it is always 0 (zero) length i.e. the filename gets created but no data gets written to the remote file. I've tried a similiar script from the PERL Cookbook using sysopen and I get the same result.

Not sure what's going on but any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Eoin
