CGI::BasePlus, one of the CGI::* modules for Perl5, supports file upload
through forms. It is available in the modules/by-module/CGI/ directory
of any CPAN site. See <URL:http://www.perl.com/perl/CPAN/CPAN.html> for
a list of CPAN sites. CGI::Lite also supports file upload, and is also
available at CPAN in the same directory.
Larry, a number of developers have mentioned that it would be easier to
process uploaded files if each file was given a content-length part
header. I know it's late in the game, but I thought it worth mentioning.
