Hi,

I'm have been running mod_perl for a while now.
Current situation is:
	-Win 2000 SP2
	-Apache 2.0.47
	-mod_perl 1.999.22
	-Perl 5.8.3

http conf:
	Alias /mod_perl/ "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/mod_perl/"
	<Location /mod_perl>
 	SetHandler perl-script
 	PerlResponseHandler  ModPerl::Registry
 	PerlOptions -ParseHeaders
 	Options +ExecCGI
	</Location>

But all of the sudden I'm having problems with the file uploads from a form.
In the error.log file I find:
	CGI open of tmpfile: No such file or directory

Note that those same forms gave no trouble before.
Don't know what switch did create the error.
My guess it is the installation of Perl5.8.3 (from a 5.8.1 version) and its
accompagning CGI v3.01.
Have also tried with the lastest 3.08 CGI module from CPAN

I have reduced the error to the following form and its brother mod_perl
script.

Note also that the script is running OK when placed in the cgi-bin folder
(no mod_perl). I know that is not a guarantee that it should work under
mod_perl, but still it is a nice indication.

Form
========
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en">
<head>
<title>Upload Test</title>
</head>

<body>
<h4>Upload:</h4>
<form method="post" action="/mod_perl/upload-test.pl"
enctype="multipart/form-data">
<br />
<input name="file" type="file" size="60" /><br />
	<input type="button" value="Cancel" onclick="window.history.go(-3)"
/>

	<input type="submit" value="Upload File" />
</p>
</form>
</body></html>

Script
==========
#!C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe
use CGI;
my $q = CGI->new();
print $q->header, $q->start_html('result'),$q->h1('the uploaded file');
my $filename = $q->upload('file');
print $q->p("filename: $filename");
print $q->p("content:");
print "<pre>";
while (<$filename>) { print; }
print "</pre>"; 
print $q->end_html;

Kind Regards
