I think we'd have heard on the MacPerl lists if a version of CGI.pm were
finally able to handle file uploads on Mac.

Lincoln Stein, the author of CGI.pm has a web site that might be
enlightening (I don't have the URL handy -- he's connected with the Human
Genome Project).

Also, remember this: when you're using CGI.pm's functions to write your
HTML form, and you want it to handle file uploads, be sure to use the
function start_form_multipart() instead of plain start_form() [and check my
capitalization]...
