SPUG: retrieving image from form element

I'm using a file form element to point to a client side image that
is sent to a server side Perl script. Here is the HTML...
<FORM ACTION="/cgi-bin/handle_image.pl" METHOD="POST"
ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" >
Select an image to send to database...must be .jpg format.<BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="image1" ACCEPT="image/gif, image/jpeg"><BR><BR>
<INPUT TYPE="Submit" NAME="submit" VALUE="Send Image">
</FORM>
On the receive side, if I use a typical print keys to see what came
across I can see the data for the image...
foreach $key (keys %in)
{
print "$key is $in{$key}<BR>"; #prints image data
}
However, if I print $in{image1} I get a "document contains no data" error.
Can anyone tell me the correct way to capture the image data and save
it to a file on the server side.
Thanks in advance.
