in reply to getstore problem

#!/usr/bin/perl BEGIN { $|=1;
I don't see any compelling good reason to put all this in BEGIN.
    print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
Don't! The whole point of CGI.pm is to relief you from the need of reinventing the wheel and the risks of doing it wrong.
use CGI::Carp('fatalsToBrowser'); } use CGI; use LWP::Simple;
Please (do a favour to yourself and) ask perl to give you all the help it can! So
use strict; use warnings;
as well.
$q= new CGI; $my_data=$q->param('set'); $lower=1000; $upper=2000000; $random = int(rand( $upper-$lower+1 ) ) + $lower; $filename="file$random.jpg"; getstore($my_data,"../temp/$filename");
Huh?!? Try reading
perldoc -q temporary
it may help.

However chances are you're having an OS problem, not a Perl one. You say that the program doesn't work, but fail to explicitly mention what kind of error it gives you. I suggest you to do your best to help knowledgeable monks here to help you...
