how can I retrieve a file sent from an HTML form?

[Guy]

If the following HTML form is submitted to my perl script...

<input name='var3' value='test'>

....my Perl script can read that variable using the following code (assuming
I'm using the right library)

$var=param('var3');



But if the following HTML form is submitted to my Perl script...

<input name=fil type=file>

....how do I retrieve the contents of the file?



Thanks again,
Guy

The way the documentation of the library you are using tells you to.
