[MacPerl-WebCGI] Handling multipart/form-data CGIs (file uploads) with MacPerl

[Christian Schaller <schaller@SPUDS.LPL.Arizona.EDU>]

Howdy, folks. I'm wondering just how to handle multipart/form-data
forms with MacPerl and the CGI module. In particular, I'd like to know
how to deal with file uploads.

I've got a simple little perl program that I use to test my forms; all
it does is dump the returned successful controls' name and value pairs
to the user via an on-the-fly HTML doc--it also returns the ENV data. It
works perfectly well with regular forms, but when I specify that the
enctype is to be multipart/form-data (and include a file via the
<input type="file" ...> element), MacPerl returns an error like

    # CGI open of .:CGItemp10001: Invalid argument

This is MacPerl 5.2.0_r4 and the CGI module that comes included.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
