I have a very simple form and perl script that is to upload a jpg file. I am not familiar with the perl language but copied the code from a text book.
It works fine with all browsers except IE. !!!!!
The code is able to validate that it is a jpg but never gets to the debugging statement 'in loop"
I have seen numerious complaints via google searches about IE and uploads but
am unable to decipher the solution.
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
