Gentlemen,

I have been asked to create a form to upload CSV of site surveys, and then emailing that file to my engineering department.

The HTML half of the script is as follows:
<form name=csvsurvey method=post action='/' enctype='multipart/form-da
+ta'>

          <input type=hidden name=cmd value=main>
          <input type=hidden name=module value=Customer>
          <input type=hidden name=sub_cmd value=site_csv>
          <input type=hidden name=sub_module value='Site Survey'>
          <tr><td class=oatable>CSV File to Upload</td><td class=oatab
+le><input type=file name=upfile></td></tr>
         <tr><td class=oatable>Notes(80 char max)</td><td class=oatabl
+e><input type=text name=upnote maxlength=80></td></tr>
         <tr><td class=oatable colspan=2 align=center><input type=subm
+it value='Upload File'></td></tr></form>

The function that handles the incoming file is as follows:
sub site_csv() {
    # Get CGI Variables
    CGI::ReadParse(*form);
      my $csv = $form{upfile};
      $csv =~ s/\n/<br>/gi;
      my $note= $form{upnote};

      $tokens{MAIN} = "Included note: $note<br>";
      $tokens{MAIN} .="<br>$csv<br>";

    return $tokens{MAIN};
}

As you can tell I haven't even gotten to the point where I need to attach the file to an email. I want to be able make sure that I can recieve the information. The problem is that when I send my file, test.csv, printing out $form{upfile} prints the file name of the file that was uploaded, rather than the data.

TIA,
amt.
