The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: CGI::Upload
DSLIP: bdpOp
description: CGI class for handling browser file uploads
userid: ROBAU (Rob Casey)
chapterid: 15 (World_Wide_Web_HTML_HTTP_CGI)
communities:
previously discussed at
http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl?node_id=150713
similar:
CGI File::MMagic HTTP::File (old)
rationale:
This module has been written to provide a simple and secure manner
by which to handle files uploaded in multipart/form-data requests
through a web browser. The primary advantage which this module
offers over the existing modules with similar functionality is a
single interface which provides the most often required information
regarding uploaded files ( file name, file handle [file stored
within temporary file generated via new_tmpname function of IO::File
which offers secure, non-predictive file names], file type [as
specified by file extension], and mime type [for validation of the
nature of the uploaded file] ) - This is performed making use of the
existing CGI and File::MMagic methods (although there is some
overlap) and offers a very tidy, succinct interface for working with
multiple file uploads.
This module to my mind represents a very nature extension of the
existing modules.
This code is at near-release stage having gone through some review
and feedback on PerlMonks prior to this application for name space.
The only requirements at this point prior to release onto CPAN
(pending namespace approval) in a near-complete form is some
additional POD documenation.
