It's been a very long time since I last implemeted a CGI that handles
HTTP upload.   Anybody have an especially cleaver way to clean up the
filenames obtained from the upload() method of CGI.pm?

Files sent using IE on a windows box look like this.. "C:\Some
Directory\the file.txt".  Files sent using Mozilla on Windows of Linux
just look like this "the file.txt".

File::Basename was my first guess, but how to tell if I should use
fileparse_set_fstype("MSDOS") or fileparse_set_fstype("MacOS") or even
VMS or AmigaOS.  

tia,
