in reply to enctype required??

Take a look at 442565 and especially the comments by merlyn. (It seems to be a CGI.pm issue.)

    Thanks, but 442565 seems to be referring to HTML code generated by CGI.

    In my case, the HTML code is a static web page, coded by the WEB front end people.

    Does the new CGI only read multipart/form-data forms?

    If so, that means that I would need to have all the front end web pages that have forms changed to add the ENCTYPE tag. Not that that would cause a problem, it's just a lot of work.

      Yes, that occurred to me, but I thought maybe the fact that there is a change in CGI.pm involving enctype might be related to your problem. merlyn indicated that "the latest CGI.pm uses multipart/form-data for both start_form and start_multipart_form" so it seemed possible that it might ignore starts omitting that. Unfortunately I don't have the latest version to experiment with. Sorry,
