Well, perldoc CGI has some good things to say about this:
When the form is processed, you can retrieve the entered filename by calling param(): $filename = $query->param('uploaded_file'); Different browsers will return slightly different things for th +e name. Some browsers return the filename only. Others return the full + path to the file, using the path conventions of the user's machine. Re +gard- less, the name returned is always the name of the file on the u +ser's machine, and is unrelated to the name of the temporary file tha +t CGI.pm creates during upload spooling (see below). The filename returned is also a file handle. You can read the +contents of the file using standard Perl file reading calls: # Read a text file and print it out while (<$filename>) { print; } # Copy a binary file to somewhere safe open (OUTFILE,">>/usr/local/web/users/feedback"); while ($bytesread=read($filename,$buffer,1024)) { print OUTFILE $buffer; }
If you need more specific information, you might want to enter a more specific description of your problem.
