Accessing Temporary File

Accessing Temporary File

• Internally CGI.pm creates temp file
  • Deleted when script done
• Not guaranteed to be supported in future
  $filename = param('uploaded file');$tmpfile = tmpFileName($filename);
• Privacy issues
  • One CGI script can read another's temp files
  • Avoid by setting $CGI::PRIVATE_TEMPFILE=1
