Hi,

I'm using a piece of code from the CGI_Lite documentation within LWP to
upload files through an HTML form onto my webserver. It works! and I'm
really happy except I don't understand why and also the file names aren't
quite right.

Could someone tell me 

a) how it works, and also how CGI_Lite works in general, or a place to go
and look for info.

b) how to change the filenames from 
871405081__sumo.gif to just sumo.gif ?

Thanks, here's my code:

#!/usr/bin/perl
$| = 1;
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
use CGI_Lite;


$form = new CGI_Lite();
$form->set_platform ("UNIX" or "PC" or "Macintosh");
$form->set_file_type ("handle" or "file");


$status = $form->set_directory ("/www/documents/alex/ba");
$form->set_directory("/www/documents/alex/ba") || die "Directory doen't
exist.\n";


$reference_to_hash = $form->parse_form_data();
%hash = $form->parse_form_data();
$form->print_form_data;


Alex
