CGI::T...::File(3pm)

💖 CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::File — it's giving "file upload control" ✨

ok bestie so real quick, the manual name is CGI::T...::File(3pm) and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation, and today we're learning about a file upload control. slay. let's go 🎀

🌸 NAME 🌸

CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::File — a file upload control, no cap 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

like, it literally inherits from CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input, and $form is a CGI::Test::Form. here's the whole vibe:

# Inherits from CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input
# $form is a CGI::Test::Form

my $upload = $form->input_by_name("upload");
$upload->replace("/tmp/file");

see how easy that was? iconic. 🌟

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so this class models a file upload control. picture it: it's a text field where you type in a file name, and right next to it there's a lil "browse" control button that lets the user pick a file through a GUI... 🖱️✨

not me getting emotional over a text field with a button next to it 😭

and the important part, bestie: the interface is the same as the one described in CGI::Test::Form::Widget::Input::Text_Field. so if you already know that one, you already know this one. periodt. 💜
