in thread Upload an image file

Yes, the script and location that I want to put the files are on the webserver. I am running the script from my own pc.

What can be done with file handles?

BY upload routine I assume you mean something like:
my $file_handle = $req->upload( $file );

I have tried various ways and get errors with some. I think that I got that one to work eventually, sort of, since the file size still was 0.

    Now I am utterly confused. You run the script on your own PC? Why are you using CGI then? Are you really, really sure you run the script on your PC? Pointing your browser to a URL that causes the script to run on the webserver doesn't make your script run on your PC. It still runs on the webserver.

    With upload routine, I mean what's discussed in the CGI manual page: 

        $filename = $query -> param ('uploaded_file');
    while (<$filename>) {print}

    [download]
    with the appropriate name from the form of course.

      sorry, you are right. I am not running the script from my own pc, but pointing to it via a browser.

      It's been a long day.....and I still can't get this thing to work :(
