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.)

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
