To anyone who can help the lowly: I am trying to have a simple upload script that is activated by a LWP script. The Web server is Apache 2 on Windows and the script looks like this: 
use strict;
use CGI;
my $q=CGI->new();
my $client = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};
my $buffer;
my $file = $q->param('upload_file');
$client =~ s/\./_/g;
open(FH,"> c:/upload/$client.txt") or die($!);
my $fh = $q->upload('upload_file');
while (<$fh>)
{
    print FH;
}

close(FH);
close(LOG);

This is the script that invokes the server script: 
#!perl -w
use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTTP::Request::Common qw/POST/;
my $ua= LWP::UserAgent->new();


my $filename= $ARGV[0];
chomp($filename);
my $url='http://diesel.nci.nih.gov/cgi-bin/store.pl';

my %fields = ("upload_file" => "$filename");

my $results = $ua->post($url , 
    content => [upload_file => "$filename"],
    enctype => 'multipart/form-data');


if($results->is_success){
   print "It's good!\n";
} else {
   print "It didn't work.\n";
   print $results->status_line();
}

The output from the web server is: 
50:34 2004] [error] [client 156.40.134.176] Use of uninitialized value
+ in <HANDLE> at C:/Apache/scripts/store.pl line 19.

+on unopened filehandle at C:/Apache/scripts/store.pl line 19.

The filename is create on the server but it is o bytes long. Does anyone have any ideas on why it isn't working? Any information is appreciated. tcox
