I'm trying to grab the original name of the file using CGI.pm to upload.

Here is what I am doing:

my @nfn = split (/\\/, $file);
$NewFileName = pop @nfn;

where $file is the full path to the file.

This process will only be done using a graphical browser. My question is,
will the file coming in through a browser ever use / instead of \?

If so, my split above will not work in all scenarios.

on my Windows machine, the filename comes in as:

d:\directory\myfile.jpg

Is there a chance that I will ever see it come in as:

d:/directory/myfile.jpg or /usr/home/myfile.jpg

or something different from all of those?

Since I am not familiar with how Mac browsers work or even how a Unix
graphical browser would work, I don't know if I will see these.

Who knows, someone out there might have a better way of doing this. If so,
I'd like to check it out.

Troy
