I have to save file at server, and as response simply make link to it (<IMG
SRC=...>).
I've tried to use sysread & syswriteb but result remained the same: 0x20
instead 0x00... :((

I'm sure that file uploads - filesize is the same, but content differs...
and this code works fine at local machine:
if ((open IN, "<in.jpg") && (open OUT, ">out.jpg")) {
binmode(IN);
binmode(OUT);
while (<IN>) { print OUT $_; }
close IN;
close OUT;
}
so I think all trouble is in $filehandle.. no I'm SURE!
that code works perfectly fine on test data, and there is no mess with 0x00
and 0x20!
i've read something about filehandles at
http://stein.cshl.org/WWW/software/CGI/cgi_docs.html#upload_caveats - that
it must be obtained throug different package - like that:
$file = $query->param('file to upload');
$file = "main::$file";
...
but I don't know what package I have to use...
