[ic] s/Reg Exps on file paths/headaches/g ;

Many thanks.

For the record, here's the code that works for those people who, down the
road, are searching the docs trying to do the same:

In the form:

<FORM ACTION="[process-target]" METHOD=POST ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data">
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_todo     VALUE=return>
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=mv_nextpage VALUE=test>
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=ui_return_to VALUE="thispage.html">
    <INPUT TYPE=hidden NAME=ui_return_to VALUE="item_id=sessions">
    <INPUT TYPE=file NAME=newfile>
    <INPUT type=hidden NAME=upload_fn VALUE="upload/">
    <INPUT NAME=ui_upload_ascii TYPE=radio VALUE=1> ASCII<BR>
    <INPUT NAME=ui_upload_ascii TYPE=radio VALUE=0 CHECKED> Binary
    <INPUT TYPE=submit name="mv_click" VALUE="Upload">
</FORM>

In the target page (test.html):

[set name=upload_filename interpolate=1][calc]
$filename = $CGI->{newfile} ;
$filename =~ s|.*[\\/]||;
$filename
[/calc][/set]
[value-extended
      Yes=1
    No=0
    name=newfile
                   outfile="upload/[scratch upload_filename]"
    ascii="[value ui_upload_ascii]"
  ]
[bounce href="[return-to url]"]

That's it!

Good luck.

Zack
