Joe: Thanks so much for taking the time to answer... I'll look into the segfault backtrace next...
When I do this: my $q = Apache::Request->new($r); my @uploads = $q->upload; warn 'Number of uploads: '. scalar @uploads; foreach my $uploadfilename (@$uploads) { #my $upload = $q->upload($uploadfilename); #SEGFAULTS! warn "UPLOADER found " . $uploadfilename; } I get "Number of uploads: 24" which is the number of fields on my multipart html form of which only one is a "file" type: <form action="/input" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="resourceform" parent="resourceform"> ... <tr> <td><label for="effectivedate">effective date</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="effectivedate" value="" length="" max=""></td> </tr> <br><tr> <td><label for="expirationdate">expiration date</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="expirationdate" value="" length="" max=""></td> </tr> <br><tr> <td><label for="modby">moderated by</label></td> <td><input type="text" name="modby" value="" length="" max=""></td> </tr> <br><tr> <td><label for="resourceurl">resource url</label></td> <td><input type="file" name="resourceurl" value="" length="" max=""></td> </tr> ... </form> In my apache error log I see: ... UPLOADER found effectivedate at (eval 20) line 14. UPLOADER found expirationdate at (eval 20) line 14. UPLOADER found modby at (eval 20) line 14. UPLOADER found resourceurl at (eval 20) line 14. ... So it looks to me like EVERY field gets dumped into the upload array... Like I said, I'm probably doing something stupid... I'll look into the backtrace now... THANKS so much! ken.
