Sorry to confuse everybody, but I found the bug, and indeed it had
nothing to do with the Execute call. The page was somewhat complex and I
tried to reproduce the bug with a simpler setup, which did not work. I
just searched in the wrong direction, as the upload was working when
trying it from the main page but not from the executed page.
The offending code was a little three-liner in the form-setup, which
escaped any backslashes in the %fdat values. (Which didn't do any harm
to unix filenames, but screw up for windows. Really stupid.) It was
supposed to work around the problem that Embperl "eats" any backslashes
the user enters in "text" fields, when you rely on automatic values in a
form. Btw, is there any way to switch the backslash escapes for output
processing off ?
Enno
P.S.: This one really drove me crazy...
