I had a spot of trouble with some applications after my hosting company did an upgrade of CGI.pm and had to do some research. I found this:

Change file for CGI.pm version 3.23

which says that upload() was broken in 3.21 and remained that way in 3.22 as well. Monks who are looking to upgrade their stock CGI.pm should steer clear of 3.21 and 3.22 and go straight to 3.23 -- especially if needing that functionality.

    But what does 3.23 break?
