Hi,
I'd like to suggest a module that I came up with to test CGI file
uploading logic. I have not found anything else like it.
If anyone has any thoughts on its usefulness or knows of something else
that does a similar job, please let me know.
Thanks!

NAME
CGI::Filehandle
SYNOPSIS
#Test code:
use CGI;
my $q = new CGI;
my $fh = CGI::Filehandle->new_tie('/tmp/apple.gif');
$q->param('file', $fh);
#...Set up other CGI parameters
***
#CGI processing code:
my $filename = $q->param('file');
#$filename now set to 'apple.gif'
my @lines;
push @lines, $_ while (<$filename>);
#$filename is also a filehandle,
#just like under live CGI.pm processing
DESCRIPTION
This module helps you test CGI file uploading logic if you have a way to
invoke your CGI processing code outside of a web server. When CGI.pm
handles a file upload, an invocation of CGI->param() returns a
filehandle, but if it's called in scalar context, you receive the name
of the uploaded file. CGI.pm uses a private class to do it, so
CGI::Filehandle emulates this functionality.
This module relies on IO::WrapTie.
