hm ok..

but thats not new to me.. the code i show you is only part of an package. the cgi object lies in the main. for that itīs not a scoping issue.
  my $filename = $q->param('upload_file'); gives exactly the filename of the uploaded file. but not full qualified.
here you are right:
$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS
$main::q is initialised in the main with
our $q = new cgi;
but the attribute should set like

    use CGI qw/:standard/;
    use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
    $CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100;  # max 100K posts
    $CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 1;  # no uploads
[download]

thanks for the pointer.
like Eliya said:

my $filename   = $q->param('upload_file');    # returns (client-side) 
+name of the file
my $filehandle = $q->upload('upload_file');   # returns handle to the 
+server-side temp file
[download]

thats still my code. but the filehandle is empty. thats what i want to fix. i want to know what this function do:$q->upload('upload_file'); because it might be that there is a problem with fetching the data from the client..?!
sorry 4 my worse diction..

• 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).
