what does this mean if ($query->param($key) =~ /([^\/\\]+)$/) { # is this removing spaces ??

The square brackets enclose a character class. The first character in that class is a caret, which negates the class. Each initial backslash escapes the following character. The plus sign matches one or more. The parentheses store whatever is matched. The dollar matches the end of the line. Putting it all together, "if parameter ends with one or more non-slashes, give me those non-slashes in $1.

This is matching only - no substitution.

and next if ($key !~ /^filetoupload_(\d+)$/); especially (\d+)$/ mean

\d matches a digit. Here, caret matches the start of the string. Everything else is described above. Putting it together, if $key starts with "filetoupload_" and ends with digits, give me those digits in $1.

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
