I'm not quite sure why its doing what its doing. I have only done one real project with Apache::ASP that handles file uploads, but again, how I do it is:
1) Make sure you do a PerlSetVar FileUploadTemp 1 in httpd.conf - this will ensure that Apache::ASP actually downloads the file for you and puts it into a temporary file. Otherwise you just get a filehandle to the file and have to read it and spool it to the file yourself (thats how I understood it anyway).
2) Get the hash with a my $upload_file = $Request->{FileUpload}{upload_form_element};
3) Get the name of the (temporary) file that Apache::ASP downloaded the file into: $filename=$upload_file->{TempFile};
You can then move the file wherever you want. This method works great for me.

I have one further query. If I do the following.. (where "filename" is the name of the file upload box on the html page) :
my $newFileHandle = $Request->Form('filename');
my $newFileName = $Request->FileUpload('filename','BrowserFile');
Is that the correct syntax ?
I mean it appear to work, but I still notice something slightly strange.
If I print them both, they both show the same :
my $newFileHandle = $Request->Form('filename');
print "file handle: $newFileHandle <br>";
my $newFileName = $Request->FileUpload('filename','BrowserFile');
print "name: $newFileName <br>";
... this gives :
file handle: points.doc
name: points.doc
If I print to Data::Dumper as follows :
print Dumper $newFileHandle . "<br>";
print Dumper $newFileName . "<br>";
I get the following output....
file handle: $VAR1 = bless( \*{'Fh::fh00003points.doc'}, 'Fh' );
name: $VAR1 = bless( \*{'Fh::fh00003points.doc'}, 'Fh' );
So, what is the difference.
When I ask for "browserFile" from the FileUpload request object, why is it still a file handle ?
Maybe I am just being incredibly stupid, but I dont see any difference to doing it this way, as to the way I was initially doing it.
