>From the docs:
When you have installed CGI.pm 2.46 or above you may also retrieve the
filename (local filename, as it was on the browser side) and the
informations provied by the CGI.pm uploadInfo function. To get the filename
just print out the value of the correspondig %fdat entry, instead of using
it as a filehandle. To get the uploadInfo use the fieldname with a dash in
front of it:
Example:
# ImageName is the NAME of the field, you must replace it with whatever
# name is given in your HTML code
Filename: [+ $fdat{ImageName} +] <br>
Content-Type: [+ $fdat{-ImageName} -> {'Content-Type'} +] <br>

file uploads are the only thing that Embperl uses CGI.pm. CGI.pm reads the
data in small chunks and writes it to disk, so there is no problem with
memory, as far as you disk has enounght free space.

I thought there is some way, but I can't find it. I think you should search
the DBI users mailinglist archiv for that problem.
