New to CURL

following example at http://www.sitepoint.com/article/uploading-files-cgi-perl

Have it running fine via browser and get files uploaded ok
When run CURL it indicates its working ok (get Apache code 200 back) but fails to get the file uploaded and I get a copy of the HTML script?

no errors in error log

Ta

Command i'm using is :
 curl -F fn=@x.txt -F submit=OK -v --show-error http://localhost/results/upload
