Re: [Slashcode-development] can't upload a file with multipart/form-data submissions

[James E. M. <jm...@tr...>]

As is always the case, I think I solved my problem.
I copied file_upload.pl from libapreq/eg/perl into my plugin's perl
code, and made it work fine by editing the print commands.  

some lingering black magic---I have no idea what $r=shift means, as in:

sub main(){  
...
my $r=shift;                       ## huh?  
				   ## is this getting a reference to myself?
my $apr=Apache::Request->new($r);  ## doesn't seem to clash with other 
				   ## calls to getCurrentForm()
my $upload=$apr->upload;           ## works great.
...
}

Sorry about the noise,
james
