Hi,

I've got a really annoying thing going on here with CGI.pm :/

At first - I thought it was just cos I was tired, and was missing something stupid... but I really can't see it (even now, the morning after)

The code in question is: 

    use CGI;

    my $cgi = new CGI;
    my $fh = $cgi->upload('client_local_offer_image_url');
    
    print $IN->header;    
    print STDERR "HERE ... \n";
    while (< $fh >) { 
        print STDERR $_ ;
    }
    print "HERE";
    exit;

...and the HTML (I've cut some of it out, as its about 800 lines long, and I'm sure you don't wanna see all of it <G>) 

    
<form name="offerForm" id="offerForm" action="/form.cgi" method="post"
+ enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="catalog_online" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="client_manage" />
<input type="hidden" name="func" value="add_do" />
<input type="hidden" name="user_client_id" value="1" />
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4" bgcolor
+="#DDE8F4">
    <tr bgcolor="#6699CC">
        <td colspan="2" height="1" width="100%" class="background_bleu
+_fonce_top"><img src="http://images.site.org/images/v2/clear_shim.gif
+" width="10" height="1" border="0"><br></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="43%" align="right"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvet
+ica" size=2 color="#191C1F">Title:</td>
        <td><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="#191C1F
+"><input type="text" class="button required" name="client_local_offer
+_title" size="40"  value=""> *</td>
    </tr>
     ... more HTML and options

     <tr>
        <td width="43%" align="right"><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvet
+ica" size=2 color="#191C1F">Image:</td>
        <td><font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size=2 color="#191C1F
+"><input type="file" class="button" name="client_local_offer_image_ur
+l" size="40"> *</td>
    </tr>

     ... more HTML and options

</table>     
</form>

When submitting the form, it submits, BUT nothing ever comes through in the image field that was submitted!

At first, I thought it was a problem with the enctype, but that all appears to be there fine

Can anyone have a look with a fresh pair of eyes, and see if they can spot the boo-boo? I've spent over 3 hours trying to work it out, and I'm still no closer :( (I've done file uploads a ton of times before - which is why I can't work out why this wont work :/)

TIA!

Andy
