If you're using CGI.pm, then I think the name you get is also the opened filehandle from which to read the content. Just open the new filename you want, read the data, write to disk. Check the CGI.pm docs.

Hmmm Well, if you're just trying to learn Perl and the HTTP protocol, and want to print and read and parse simple forms, then ok I guess but for anything more complex than the simplest forms, and for any real production work, use the module. As for a file upload, just save yourself a straightjacket, skip to the chase scene, and use the module. =o) __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

problem with the file sending came up, because i'd like to give the Users a
chance to upload a picture from them.
So if you could give me a small code that saves an uploaded picture in a
definded directory I would be happy!
use CGI qw(:all);
use CGI::Carp qw(fatalsToBrowser);
my $fh = param('upload');
my ($name) = ($fh =~ /([\w.-]+)/;
open (OUT, $name) or die Can't open $name: $!;
my $buf;
print OUT $buf while read $fh, $buf, 1024;
close OUT;
I doubt you'll find many people who want to reinvent the CGI.pm wheel for
you. If you've learned all those other things it won't take you long to
pick it up.

I have programmed it so that the new file will be saved in a new Folder. if you use the standard CGI module that's shipped with the later versions of Perl then that parameter is both the filename and a filehandle to the file contents as well since version 2.47 of CGI.pm there's an additional method called 'upload' which explicitly retrieves the filehandle see the CGI documentation for an example of the file-upload mechanism references: perldoc CGI -- jason king In Denmark, if a horse carriage is trying to pass a car and the horse gets uneasy, the car is required to pull over and stop.
