Hi,
I've been asked to write a program in perl which receives
an uploaded file, parses it and does some database
operations. I've written the program and it works fine
on my machine (my machine is a Windows NT and has IIS
4.0 as well as Perl 5.6 on it). the problem started
when i moved my perl file to another machine (which is
a test server), and tried to upload a file which was on
my machine's hard drive to the test server.The perl
program runs through without generating any error, but
does not receive the uploaded file's data,i.e. all the
other parameters which i pass to the perl file via the
POST method are being passed correctly, except the text
file which i am uploading.
If i go to the test server and upload a text file which
resides on its hard drive, then the perl program runs
fine. but if it is from one machine to another separate
machine, then the uploaded file seems to be getting
lost somewhere.
I even tried changing the name of the temporary directory
name which is in the CGI.pm file, but to no avail.

Any suggestions ?
