reading a client file

hi to all,

I need to read a file selected by (and stored in the computer of) users.

My first idea was on uploaded files:

(all variables are sent correctly;
$_ is the name of the file
$file is a relative pathname)

s/.*[\/\\](.*)/$1/;
$file = "upnull/".$_;
open(LOCALE, "> $file") or die("problema: $!");
binmode LOCALE;
while(<$file> )
{
print LOCALE;
}
close(LOCALE);

I'm curious to know why that script doesn't work and I need to know if
there's a more sicure way to do it (for instance reading the file
without copying it on the server...)

thank you all,

alladr
