I use a html file to browse the HD and then upload it to the web server
my $file = $req->param("FILE1");
my $fileName = $file;
$fileName =~ s!^.*(\\|\/)!!;
$newmain = $fileName;
this contains the filename of the local hd.. ie.. c:/stuff/pic.jpg
I am wanting to upload pic.jpg to the server using the following code and
save it as pic.jpg on the server..
open (OUTFILE, ">$newmain");
$buffer =<OUTFILE>;
print OUTFILE $buffer;
close (OUTFILE);
but for some reason it only uplaod the first 21 bytes
many thanks,
Johnno
