Missing MIME type

odat · 07-27-2001, 03:49 AM

I get an "uninitialized variable" msg from:

my $Mime = uploacInfo($FileName) -> {Content-type};
nope,
that should be:

my $Mime = uploadInfo($FileName) -> {Content-type};
given the above line, when I try:
print $Mime;
this variable $Mime is still undefined
This is using Netscape 4.5 and Apache 1.3.19, and Perl 5
The file prints out in the browser OK
I have no idea how to research this question, the script
is at a very basic level. I've tried on 2 machines.

Where are you doing the Print? When you use My, you are making a local variable. If you try and use that variable outside the block/function where you declared it, it will now be undefined.

I would try testing it right after the assignment, and printing out it's value then. Could be a problem with the uploadInfo call, or with $filename. Basically any params, put in debugs so you're sure what you're passing is what you thought you were.
