[MacPerl-WebCGI] Trimming resource fork

[A K Suska <aksuska@insideflyer.com>]

 Depends on the Content-type.  I have noticed that IE 4.5 uploads all files
 as MacBinary, which would be why you are getting the resource fork.  You
 will have to decode the file (one of the dedicated MacPerlers has created a
 module Mac::Conversions) and discard the resource fork.  I haven't yet
 implemented this, but I understand that it is a trivial undertaking for an
 experienced Perl programmer.
