Post Reply? Hi all, I was curious wether there is a way to get the following script working. It works for every server tested but not for Dreamhost. Is it possible to get it working or was choosing Dreamhost just wrong? #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use File::Slurp; use CGI; run(); sub run { my $logfile = ‘test.txt’; my $cgi = CGI->new(&hook, $logfile); print $cgi->header(’text/html’), $cgi->start_html, $cgi->p( ‘Upload done’ ), $cgi->end_html; return; } sub hook { my ($filename, $buffer, $bytes_read, $logfile) = @_; append_file $logfile, sprintf(”%d: %dn”, time, $bytes_read); } The problem is that the CGI->Hook is called after the upload and not like with all other servers during the upload. I already tried using a newer CGI version (3.48) however that did not fix the Dreamhost bug. Does anyone know which server settings have to be changed?
