Script for uploading files to a server

[Grega]

Hi!

I use the following script for saving the uploaded file to the server.
It is basically driving me mad!
($q is initialised before)

my $sourceFilePath = $q->param('pdf');
my $fileHandle = $q->upload('pdf');
open (OUT, ">test.pdf") or die "$!";
binmode OUT;
while(<$fileHandle>){
print OUT;
}
close OUT;


What is the basic problem - $fileHandle seems to be empty while
$sourceFilePath holds the correct filename! I am stuck with this
problem for some time now :/

I have the current version of the CGI module.

Thank you in advance!

99% chance you're not using <form enctype="multipart/form-data">

IT WORKED!

You cannot imagine how grateful I am. To my assumptions I spend ~20
hours solving this simple bug :/
The whole problem is, that I am editing a web service written a long
time ago by someone else..

Thanks again!
