Pergunta

following is html filecontent:

<form name="myForm" action="/cgi-bin/bulkurls.cgi" enctype="multipart/form-data" 
          method="post" >


    <td align="right">Bulk Provisioning File
    </td>
    <td align="left"><input name="user_list" type="file">
    </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td align="center" colspan="2"><input class="ButtonNormal150" name="upload"  type="submit" 
        value="Process File">

CGI script is :

use CGI;
use strict;

my $query = new CGI;

at this moment CGI object creation is failed only file contain UTF chars. In case of plain text it's working fine. What is exact reason for this?

Solução

You could try to setting utf8 like this. Also try to use a minimal valid HTML page for testing.

HTML:

<html>
<body>
<form 
name="myForm" 
action="/cgi-bin/bulkurls.cgi" 
enctype="multipart/form-data" 
method="post" >
<input name="user_list" type="file">
<input class="ButtonNormal150" name="upload"  type="submit" value="Process File">
</form>
</body>
</html>

bulkurls.cgi:

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use CGI qw(-utf8);
