[Catalyst] upload breakage

[Joe Landman]

Hi folks:

   I am trying to set up a simple multiple upload form.  Using jQuery 
multi class for the interface portion.  The form looks like this:

    <form action="/upload" class="multi" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
     <input type="file" class="multi" />
     <input type="submit" name="upload" value="upload file(s)" />
     <input type="hidden" name="destination_path" value="<% 
$destination_path %>" />
     <input type="hidden" name="form_submit" value="yes" />
    </form>

and the receiving action is basically a cut and paste from the cookbook

   my $path 	= $c->req->param('destination_path');
   $c->log->debug('********* path = '.$path);
   if ( $c->request->parameters->{form_submit} eq 'yes' ) {
       $c->log->debug('********* uploading! ');
       for my $field ( $c->request->upload  ) {
           $c->log->debug('*********** field '.$field);
           my $upload   = $c->request->upload($field);
           my $filename = $upload->filename;
           my $target   = File::Spec->catfile($path,$filename);
           $c->log->debug('*********** name  '.$filename);
           $c->log->debug('*********** target'.$target);

           unless ( $upload->link_to($target) || 
$upload->copy_to($target) ) {
               die( "Failed to copy '$filename' to '$target': $!" );
           }
       }
   }

Now when I try to upload a file, in this case a simple perl script named 
wireless.pl ... fairly small as a simple test case, the controller reports

[debug] Query Parameters are:
.-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------.
| Parameter                           | Value 
      |
+-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| destination_path                    | /tmp 
      |
| file                                | wireless.pl 
      |
| file1                               | 
      |
| form_submit                         | yes 
      |
| upload                              | upload file(s) 
      |
'-------------------------------------+--------------------------------------'
[debug] "GET" request for "upload" from "127.0.0.1"
[debug] Path is "upload"
[debug] ********* path = /tmp
[debug] ********* uploading!
[debug] ********* dump = $VAR1 = 'upload file(s)';

but it never seems to hit the innards of the loop.  So it doesn't 
actually go through extracting the file name and so on.

Any clues?  Is it obvious what I am doing wrong here?

And if there is a better way to do multi file upload using Catalyst and 
jQuery, please, by all means, I am all ears ...

Thanks!
