How to upload multiple files using Mojolicious?

Question

I'm new to Mojolicious, trying to learn it. I'm trying to upload multiple files using form but only one file is uploaded at a time. Any suggestion?

#!perl -w

use Mojolicious::Lite;
use Mojo::Upload;
use v5.14;

get '/' => 'page';
post '/' => sub {
   my $self = shift;
   my @files;
   for my $file ($self->req->upload('files')) {
     my $size = $file->size;
     my $name = $file->filename;

     push @files, "$name ($size)";
     $file->move_to("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache24\\htdocs\\ProcessingFolder\\".$name);
   }
   $self->render(text => "@files");
} => 'save';

app->start;

Found Answer. Used uploads() instead of upload() which returns Array reference.

#!perl -w

use Mojolicious::Lite;
use Mojo::Upload;
use v5.14;

get '/' => 'page';
post '/' => sub {
   my $self = shift;
   my @files;
   for my $file (@{$self->req->uploads('files')}) {
     my $size = $file->size;
     my $name = $file->filename;

     push @files, "$name ($size)";
     $file->move_to("C:\\Program Files\\Apache Software Foundation\\Apache24\\htdocs\\ProcessingFolder\\".$name);
   }
   $self->render(text => "@files");
} => 'save';

app->start;

I think there is a small bug in the answer above - the variable ProcessingFolder is obsolete ...

#!perl -w
# install Mojolicious by : sudo -s 'curl -L cpanmin.us | perl - Mojolicious'
# run by : perl mojo-file-upload.pl daemon -m production -l http://*:8083
# point your browser @: http://127.0.0.1/upload-files
#
use Mojolicious::Lite;
use Mojo::Upload;
use v5.14;

get '/' => 'upload-files-page';
get '/upload-files' => 'upload-files-page';
post '/upload-files' => sub {
   my $self = shift;
   my @files;
   for my $file (@{$self->req->uploads('files')}) {
     my $size = $file->size;
     my $name = $file->filename;

     push @files, "$name ($size)";
     $file->move_to("/tmp/".$name);
   }
   $self->render(text => "@files");
} => 'save';

app->start;
