NAME

Catalyst::Request::Upload - handles file upload requests

SYNOPSIS

    my $upload = $c->req->upload('field');

    $upload->basename;
    $upload->copy_to;
    $upload->fh;
    $upload->filename;
    $upload->headers;
    $upload->link_to;
    $upload->size;
    $upload->slurp;
    $upload->tempname;

To specify where Catalyst should put the temporary files, set the 'uploadtmp' option in the Catalyst config. If unset, Catalyst will use the system temp dir.

    __PACKAGE__->config( uploadtmp => '/path/to/tmpdir' );
