>>Argh you're right - since it was created in the global hash I thought it >>was part of the globals and didn't look closely enough. Yep, I was just making sure.. That makes it even more of a mystery though, don't you think? Since then I went though created a new CGI object within that sub whenever I've needed it, and it seems to work. The problem only appears to happen if a new CGI object is created within the handler or within a sub that is called from the handler and it only effects upload?????? Bizzare, but I'm trying to move on.. >>You don't need it if you're using Apache::Request though. You can use >>Apache::Request_or_ CGI, you don't need to use >>both at the same time. I'm giving that a shot now, If I can get Apache2::Cookie to work right and find some way to duplicate CGI.pm's "escape" and "unescape" methods I won't need CGI.pm at all.. Thanks!
