[Gmod-help] Re: [Gmod-gbrowse] upload file utility from a plugin

[Sheldon McKay]

Hi Folks,

Sorry to be vague here but it has been a few years.  I seem to recall
running into a problem like when writing the ImportFeatures plugin.
If memory serves, it had to do with using CGI::start_multipart_form
instead of CGI::start_form.  I think the form-within-a-form approach
should fix this, otherwise, it might be necessary to make sure gbrowse
is using start_multipart_form in the context of annotator plugins.
