I have a form that I want to upload photos with. I can make it work perfectly with one file, but I want them to be able to add multiple files and when I try that the files get saved but with 0 bytes. (FYI - I am using Mason) 
<input type="file" name="file_1">
<input type="file" name="file_2">
<input type="file" name="file_3">

[download]
And then to process the submission of the files... 
    if ($fileList[0]) {
        my $uploadCnt = 3;
        my $fileCnt = 1;
        for (;$fileCnt<=$uploadCnt;$fileCnt++) {
            my $upfile = $ARGS{"file_$fileCnt"};

            ### this passes the file to the mason component I created 
+to upload files
            my $fileRef = $m->comp("fileUploader.mas",upload_file=>$up
+file);
        }
    }

[download]
Whereas with just one file, I just send the file_1 directly to my uploader, like so: 
my $fileRef = $m->comp("fileUploader.mas",upload_file=>$file_1);

[download]
When I do a Data::Dumper (print Dumper(\$upfile)) it just has the file name in there. Is there a default folder on the server the files are being stored at temporarily that I can just prepend to that file and move it? I am not sure what is happening and what to do to fix it. Any suggestions?
