in reply to Cgi params as binary data

Do you really want to pass around a whole zip file as a parameter string? Sounds like a very inefficient method to me.

Anyway, the problem is likely that $cgi->hidden doesn't make any effort to escape any non-printable characters.

    i don't necessarily want to, but I don't want to explicitly save to a file on disk. Any alternatives? What about something like cgi->upload() using binary data instead of a filename. Does that exist?
