Re: CGI Upload: Bad file descriptor

[sacked]

Is the encoding type for the form that points to this CGI script set to "multipart/form-data" ? If not, CGI's uploading functions will not work as expected. Your form declaration should look something like this:

<form action="some.cgi" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

If you are using CGI.pm to generate the form, then you should use CGI's start_multipart_form function. Here is an example from examples/file_upload.cgi in the CGI.pm distribution:

print start_multipart_form(),
    "Enter the file to process:",
    filefield('filename','',45),
    br,
    checkbox_group('count',\@types,\@types),
    p,
    reset,submit('submit','Process File'),
    endform;

Aside, I don't see where the variables $name and $ver are set before using them in your loop where you attempt to handle the file uploads:

   open (OUTFILE, ">/web/aps/mi/$name/$ver/$_") or die "Cannot open $n
+ame: $!";

Where do you initialize these variables?

That was it! Thank you sacked.

I initialize those variables when I pull the rest of the form. I removed it for brevity.
