That solution is very old. Try this module instead:

The TODO list of that module, e.g. "test if multiple file uploads are
supported", isn't convincing, considering that the module was uploaded
in 2002...

Thats a 1997 posting about Perl4. Things have moved on in the last nine
years! The cgi-lib home page hasn't been updated since 1998.

You probably have Perl 5, which comes with a lot of better maintained
modules that I'd recommend you use instead of a vintage era cgi-lib.pl
Use the command `perldoc CGI`.

I was to quick to post, after I posted my response I found your module
(which is what I would have recommended)
