Hello,

I'd like to loop through the form elements submitted to a cgi script and take different actions depending on the input type of the form element. Actually, I only need to tell the difference between input type = "file" and input type = "anything else". Is there a way to detect the input type of a param in CGI.pm? Basically, the trick is that I am trying to write a general pre-processing script that could be used with a number of different forms, so I don't want to rely on knowing the names of the input elements that have type = file.

Here's the rough outline of code for what I'm trying to do:

$query = CGI->new;
@params = $query->param;
foreach my $p (@params) {
   if( [$p is a file handle/input type == "file"] ) {
      [ read in from the file and do some stuff ]
   }
   else {
     [ do some other stuff ]
   }
}

Thanks for your help!!
