Okay, it's official: I can't find how to handle file uploads. I used to be able to do this, mind you, but it is only more recently that I've forgotten.
I can't even find any information on files being passed to CGIs. I know how the file is sent, I just don't know what the server does with it.

Any help please?

are you using a library or doing it yourself?

EDIT: google found me this: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=348&lngWId=6

Okay... at any rate... here's how you can go about doing this (FYI, I was being stupid...):

enctype="multipart/form-data"

• Code Select Expand
  
my ($postdata) = '';
while (read (STDIN, $postdata, 1, length ($postdata)) != 0) { print $!; }

  or
• Code Select Expand
  
my ($postdata) = '';
while (!eof (STDIN)) { read (STDIN, $postdata, 1, length ($postdata)); }

  or
• Code Select Expand
  
sub post {
  my ($res, $result) = (' ', '');
  while ($res ne '') { $result .= &readdata; }
}
sub readdata {
  read (STDIN, $r, 1) or die "Couldn't read standard input: $!";
  return $r;
}

  or
• Code Select Expand
  
my (@lines) = <STDIN>;
