Not a perl issue. Sending files using a FormData object.	[reply]

Have you made sure that your problem is with Perl? Please inspect what your browser sends. If it only sends the filename, the problem is in your HTML and Javascript. This site is not for debugging your HTML and Javascript for you, as you should know by now. Please debug your Javascript and HTML, and consider using plain HTML instead for file uploads.	[reply]

Get it working with HTML first, you don't need JavaScript. So delete all that JS, then just set the `form`'s `action` attribute to `addFile.pl` and add an `input` field of `type="file"`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
