Hi,

I cannot reproduce your problem here.  Only the filename (without path) is
send here:

    % perl -MHTTP::Request::Common -e "print POST('http://127.0.0.1', 
content_type => 'multipart/form-data', content => [ filecontent => 
['/dev/null'] ])->as_string"
    POST http://127.0.0.1
    Content-Length: 119
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=xYzZY

    --xYzZY
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filecontent"; filename="null"
    Content-Type: text/plain


    --xYzZY--

and with LWP::UserAgent as well:

    % nc -l -p 8000 &
    % perl -MLWP::UserAgent -MHTTP::Request::Common -e 
'LWP::UserAgent->new->request( POST("http://127.0.0.1:8000/";, content_type => 
"multipart/form-data", content => [filecontent => ["/dev/null"]] ) )'
    POST / HTTP/1.1
    TE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3
    Connection: TE, close
    Host: 127.0.0.1:8000
    User-Agent: libwww-perl/5.820
    Content-Length: 119
    Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=xYzZY

    --xYzZY
    Content-Disposition: form-data; name="filecontent"; filename="null"
    Content-Type: text/plain


    --xYzZY--

What do these output on your computer?  Is the path still included?

Regards,
Ansgar
