Hi. I have a very simple form: 
<FORM action="/cgi-bin/test.cgi" method="post" enctype="multipart/form
+-data">
    <input value="1154632892005" name="unique" type="hidden">
    <INPUT TYPE="FILE" NAME="file">
    <INPUT type="submit" value="Send"> <INPUT type="reset">
 </FORM>

I want to store the data stream as it uploads to: /tmp/1154632892005/postdata 
use CGI;
use Fcntl qw(:DEFAULT :flock);

my $cgi = new CGI;


$user_dir = "/tmp/1154632892005";

open(TMP,">","$user_dir/postdata") or &bye_bye ("can't open temp file"
+);

my $i=0;

$ofh = select(TMP); $| = 1; select ($ofh);
while (read (STDIN ,$LINE, 4096) && $bRead < $len )
{
        $bRead += length $LINE;
        $size = -s "$user_dir/postdata";

        select(undef, undef, undef,0.35);       # sleep for 0.2 of a s
+econd.

        $i++;
        print TMP $LINE;
}

close (TMP);

However, I wind up with nothing in postdata. This same process works if I do not use enctype="multipart/form-data" Help?
