There is no function for this, but it is pretty simple.
You just need to create a form like :

<form action=upload.cgi method=post enctype=multipart/form-data>
<input type=file name=data>
</form>

And then in upload.cgi, call the &ReadParseMime(); function instead
of the usual ReadParse. The contents of the uploaded file will be
available in $in{'data'}

My usual solution is to have a CGI program output a MIME content-type header
that is not viewable by the browser, like so :

#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Content-type: application/octet-stream\n\n";
print $contents_of_the_file;

This will force the browser to open a 'save file' window ..
