I'm thoroughly stumped. I've got a web app using CGI & CGI::Session where i'm trying to upload a csv file and process the data and parse it out to eventually store in a db. Here's my code: 
sub thisupload{
        my $self = shift;
        my $q = $self->query;
        my $file = $q->param('file');
        my $error;

        if($file) {
                my $data;
                my $fileHandle = $q->upload($file);
                while(<$fileHandle>) {
                        $data .= $_;
                }
                if($data) {
                        $error = 'Successfull upload';
                }
                else {
                        $error = "Nothing uploaded<br>$fileHandle<br>$
+file<br>".cgi_error."<br>$!";
                }
        }
        return $self->template({ file => 'getFile.html', vars => {erro
+r => $error,}});
}

and my html template: 
<form action="[% userbase %]/user.pl" method="POST" name="form1" encty
+pe="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="rm" value="thisupload">
File:
<input type="file" name="file"/>
<input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

[download]
$error returns:
Nothing uploaded

H:\test.txt

Operation now in progress
All the solutions I've found don't apply. I'm already using method="POST" and enctype="multipart/form-data". Ironically, I have another web app on the same server that uses similar code that works fine (that's where i got mine), so I can assume (???) that the server is configured correctly (permissions, CGI version, etc). I haven't been able to figure out this error or why $q->upload is undefined. Ideas???
