[MacPerl] FW: Uploading problem with Mac

["Walter Torres" <walter@tscinternet.com>]

I am forwarding this from the Win 32 list.

Any one have any ideas?

Subject: Uploading problem with Mac


Hi all...

I've adapted a short script which uploads a file from the web and saves
it to a directory on my hard drive (WinNT Server).  The script works
fine
from any Wintel machine, but I get an error when I run it off a Mac:

"cgi-lib.pl: reached end of input while seeking boundary of multipart.
Format of CGI input is wrong."

It actually appears twice.
Since this will be for a school which uses 90% Macs, it needs to work
from both platforms.  Any thoughts?
I'm using cgi-lib.pl, v 2.17 1998/05/14 22:39:23 completely unedited.

Thanks,
_Eric
