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.
