[MacPerl] [Fwd: Problem with CGI.pm's filefield (uploading) function]



For those interested, here is a message from Jim Mauney explaining how he
dealt with
 file uploading on Win NT4 (perhaps this is relevant to fixing file uploading
in MacPerl):

Hello,

Encountered a problem with the CGI TempFile on a Win NT4 platform.
The install set the temporary directory to D:\Temp because Perl/CGI.pm
was stored on the D: drive.  Changed the CGI.pm code to point to
C:\Temp solved my problem.  Found this  in CGI.pm documentation under
"Using CGI.pm on non-Unix Platforms".

Don't know if that is your problem because you are getting a different
error messages.  It may have to do with permissions to write to your
TempFile directory.

Luck,
Jim
