If you think about this for a while, then you will realize that it is impossible for you to access any POST parameters before you use the upload hook functionality. The uploaded files are actually part of the POST parameters, so in order to access the POST parameters, you would have to parse the entire POST request (includng the files). After that, what is the point of using the upload hook, since the file is already uploaded and in a temporary file on the server.

The way I got around it is to put the parameters in the URL action of the form as simple query paramaters. Those are accessible to you at any time in the $ENV{QUERY_STRING} variable, and you can fairly easily parse those manually and pull out your parameters before you invoke CGI.pm to parse the POST request.

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.
