Hello Monks,

I am trying to upload word docs, and/or images to a 2003 server. This is the error I keep getting: File upload: Bad file descriptor at D:\path\tofile.cgi line 67. I've been playing with this for a couple weeks now. Help!!

Here's the relevant code: 
#! C:\perl\bin\perl

use strict;
use warnings;
use diagnostics;
use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
use BKG::HTML::format;
use BKG::INDEX::ver;

my ($name, $ver, $comment, $T, $x, $i, $test1, $test2);
my $y = 0;
my $true=0;
my $old = 0;
my (@table_dat, @redata, @file_name, @file);

# Some Security Holes Plugged
$CGI::POST_MAX        = 100 * 1024 * 1024; # limit posts to 100m max

my $q = new CGI;

#################
# Get form data    #
#################


$T=1;
$x=1;
#my @existing_files = BKG::INDEX::ver::Exists($name, $ver);

while ($T)  {
    $test1 = "name_upfile" . $x;
    $test2 = "upfile" . $x;
    if (($q->param($test1)) and ($q->param($test2)))  {
        $file_name[$x-1] = $q->param($test1);
        $file[$x-1]      = $q->upload($test2) or die "File upload: $!"
+;
#        foreach (@existing_files)  {
#            if ($file_name[$x-1] eq $_)  {
#                print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#                print "$_ already exists in this directory.  Please c
+hoose another name.";
#                exit;
#            }
#        }
#        if ( $file_name[$x-1] !~ /^([a-zA-Z\d_\s.]+)$/ )  { 
#            print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#            print "Only letters, numbers, underscores and whitespaces
+ are allowed in the upload name field!!";
#            exit;
#        }
#        if ($file_name[$x-1] !~ /\.(jpg|gif|bmp|doc|txt)$/i)  {
#            print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
#            print "Only JPG's, GIF's, BMP's, TXT's and DOC's are allo
+wed to be uploaded!!";
#            exit;
#        }
        $x++;
    }
    else  { $T=0 }
}

# loop to upload docs and images
$x=0;
my ($bytesread, $buffer);
foreach (@file_name)  {
    open (OUTFILE, ">/web/aps/mi/$name/$ver/$_") or die "Cannot open $
+name: $!";
    binmode(OUTFILE);

    while ($bytesread=read($file[$x],$buffer,1024))  {
        print OUTFILE $buffer;
    }
    close OUTFILE or die "Close:$!";
    $x++;
}
