Hey guys:
I'm getting to the point where I HATE anything having to do with trying to make file upload scripts work. I've tried countless scripts and messed with them innumerable ways, and I still can't get one that uploads multiple files at once with no errors. Not only that, but I've shot WEEKS trying! Tilly wrote this one for me, but I can't get it to upload images properly. Can someone test it on their machine and see if it works for them? Also, what could I be doing wrong? I would be deeply indebted to anyone who can come up with an upload script that works for multiple files and runs on *nix, NT, and 98/95/ME. So far, NOTHING I've seen works.

P.S. I realize that this one isn't crossplatform. 

#!/usr/bin/perl -T
use strict;
use CGI qw(:standard upload);
use CGI::Carp;
use HTML::Entities;

print header(), start_html('Upload Test'), h1('Upload Test'),
  start_multipart_form(), "Enter how many files to upload: ",
  textfield("filecount"), br();
for my $i (1..param('filecount')) {
  print "File $i: ", filefield(-name => "file$i"), br();
}
print submit();
for my $file (sort grep /file/, param()) {
  print p();
  my $handle = upload($file);
open (IMAGE, ">$handle") || die "Couldn't open $handle: $!";
    # I realize that the above line needs to have a dir with write per
+missions, etc.

my $buffer;
 while (read($handle, $buffer, 10240)) {
 print IMAGE $buffer; 
} 

  unless (defined($handle)) {
    if ($file =~ /(\d+)/) {
      print h3("File request $1 did not return a handle\n");
    }
    next;
  }
  print p(), h3("Uploaded $handle"), br(), "<pre>";
  print encode_entities($_) while <$handle>;
  print "</pre>";
}
close(IMAGE);
