in reply to CGI.pm's upload gives local filename, not file itself
The upload() function's return is meant to be used as a filehandle (a re-writing of your code):
#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use CGI qw(:standard); # (update: in your code you didn't import anything?! # I guess that you didn't show us the real code then... # (copy-and-paste if your friend.) (I'm referring # to the 'use CGI' line, of course.)) my $fh = upload('file'); open TEMP, ">temp.jpg" or die "error opening temp.jpg for writing: $!\ +n"; binmode TEMP; # very important on Windows-based machines { # this block is so the assignment to $/ # will not effect the rest of the script local $/ = \1024; # tell <...> to read in 1024-byte chunks. print TEMP $_ while <$fh>; } close TEMP or warn "error closing temp.jpg: $!\n";
(The use of strict and warnings is strongly reccommended.)
