As I mentioned earlier, you should check out the CGI.pm documentation (http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/appendices/appendix3.html#creating%20a%20file%20upload%20field). 'cgi-lib.pl' has been deprecated for years. The following snippet should give you a start. If you are on a Windows system, you'll also want to see 'perldoc -f binmore' to avoid having Windows "helpfully" change your line endings for you. CGI.pm, on the other hand, is still being actively maintained and it's standard with Perl, so you should already have it on your system. use CGI qw(:standard); my $fh = param('upfile'); open OUTFILE, "> $somefile" or die "Can't open ($somefile) for writing: $!"; while ($bytesread=read($filename,$buffer,1024)) { print OUTFILE $buffer; } close OUTFILE; Cheers, Ovid ===== "Ovid" on http://www.perlmonks.org/ Web Programming with Perl: http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/cgi_course/ Silence Is Evil: http://users.easystreet.com/ovid/philosophy/decency.txt __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
