Hello Monks,

I have an IO::Socket server that I created for a Proxy server. It works fine, but I want to add the ability to allow users to upload files to the server. The user will be allowed to define the URI that holds the file, too. I want to provide the user with the ability to upload files to the server via their browser. My question is this:

Does a perl module exist that will help breakdown the browser sent header information so I can easily identify the actual file content before saving it off? I will be feeding it raw IO::Socket content, if possible.

I currently have the upload HTML file using the POST method for sending the file. I plan on posting some code, but can't today since I am away from my development machine and don't have access to what I have, now. It is a must that I stay with IO::Socket at the moment, since I already have that coded into the server I have created. Changing it would require a lot of rewrite.

Thank you in advance for your help.
