I'm afraid that works on text files only, doesn't it?<br />
You need some extra processing to handle encoded binary data.<br />

No. It works on binary files as well. (At least I have had no problems so far!).<br />

You've stated that the file's contents will be in the the variable of the element $in('file'}. What I'm getting as the content of that element is just the file's name, not the contents. I haven't had a chance to install cgi-bin.pl and give your suggestion a try, but does cgi-bin.pl findthe contents in that element while stdin alone cannot<br />

Actually it should be in $in{'upfile'} since that is the name of the &lt;input type=&quot;file&quot; input field.<br />
<br />
Are you sure you used the correct 'enctype'?<br />
<br />
Interpretation of stdin without cgi-bin.pl can be quite complex. I suggest you load a copy of cgi-bin.pl.<br />
<br />
Another possible problem could be that ISTR that Microsoft IE does not support the input type=&quot;file&quot;. (I have not checked this recently).<br />

File Upload With &lt;INPUT TYPE=&quot;FILE&quot;

A scripting language is a programming language that supports scripts, programs written for a special run-time environment that automate the execution of tasks that could alternatively be executed one-by-one by a human operator. Scripting languages are often interpreted (rather than compiled). Primitives are usually the elementary tasks or API calls, and the language allows them to be combined into more complex programs. Environments that can be automated through scripting include software applications, web pages within a web browser, the shells of operating systems (OS), embedded systems, as well as numerous games. A scripting language can be viewed as a domain-specific language for a particular environment; in the case of scripting an application, this is also known as an extension language.
