Re: Uploads images using cgi-lib.pl

Actually, you may wish to toss cgi-lib.pl out the window and replace it with CGI.pm. cgi-lib.pl was popularly used with Perl4, but CGI.pm is the "de facto standard" for Perl5+. Using CGI.pm, you can use the following code to upload files:
For your form tag and file upload field:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
print start_multipart_form();
filefield(-name=>'upload',-size=>60),br,
submit(-label=>'Upload File'),
end_form;
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
Then, to process the input:
<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial,Helvetica,sans serif">code:</font><HR>
$file = param->{'upload'};
open(SAVE,"filenametosave") | | die $!;
while(read($file,$data,1024)){
print SAVE $data;
}
close SAVE;
</pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
In other words, I don't know how to use cgi-lib.pl, only CGI.pm. You may have a hard time finding someone who knows enough to help you with that dinosaur 
(The above code was excerpted from "Official Guide to Programming with CGI.pm" by Lincoln Stein. Publisher: Wiley Computer Publishing)
Footnote: if you're interested in converting your scripts from cgi-lib.pl to CGI.pm, check out Lincoln Stein's "Porting cgi-lib.pl Scripts to CGI.pm" article at http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi-lib_porting.html
