Here's what going on.
# $file is now assigned the name of a file, which has been uploaded using
your form.
my $file = $q->param( "file" ) || error ($q, "No file received.");
# the 'upload' subroutine has the same usage as 'param', but is used for
file uploads.
# so instead of passing $file to 'upload' you should be passing "file".
# (this is according to the CGI docs.) 'upload' returns a filehandle, while
'param' returns
# a file name. this may be your problem.
my $fh = $q->upload( $file );
If you want to use the subroutine 'uploadInfo' then you will need to
retrieve the filename
from the CGI object using 'param', but for a filehandle you should use
'upload'.
Hope this helps.
