The problem here relates to the determination of the client operating
system and file parsing routines based upon the HTTP request headers.
From the description of the problem supplied, it appears that the
parsing of the filename supplied is defaulting to UNIX file parsing
routines - This may be the result of proxy servers between the client
and the web server which remove identifying HTTP client information.
The solution for this problem may be to incorporate some sanity check
for the determination of file parsing routines - I hope to be able to
incorporate such code into the next version of CGI::Upload.
