Uploading Using the CGI module

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi I am trying to upload a users file to my web server using the <input type=file name=upload> tag in a form. I receive the path to the file on the users machine fine but when i try to use it as a file handle as it says in the CGI man page while (<$upload>){ print; } It does not return anything, could anyone help me please.....

I think we'd probably need to see a little more of the code in order to help. -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you don't talk about Perl club."	[reply]

This often happens if you don't have `enctype="multipart/form-data"` in your HTML `form` tag. But as davorg said, post some of the code.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
