The requirements for uploading ought to be documented
in the documentation that accompanies the web server you are running.
The two suggestions that I can think of at first are: 1) is the
relative URL action="cgi-bin/book.pl" actually going to reach the
script? Would something like action="/cgi-bin/book.pl" help?
2) can an simpler upload be accomplished without the
enctype="multipart/form-data", that is with a MIME type
more appropriate for a single file/part rather than multipart?
