Re^2: Perl/CGI Uploading file to the server using a upload hook is failing intermittently

You said, "It is completely unclear why you're bothering with the upload hook, so get rid of it :)"

The OP said, "While uploading the file on to the server, we want to show a progress bar of the file upload. For that we are using CGI upload hook to read the length of the buffer uploaded from the browser."

So how does using File::Copy allow them to show the progress of the upload? From what I can tell, it won't.

The answer was simple, it was a totally my bad error: I left method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" out of my form declaration in the HTML page. Once I did some debugging I realized that `my $fileHandle = $q->upload('filename');` returned NULL, with no error.	[reply] [d/l]
