Could be a bug in the library. If you email me a standalone program that
produces the issue, I can try and reproduce it and help you.
note that if your mediawiki is >= v1.16 then you should not use the
"upload" function, but rather the "edit" call - or directly via the
"api" call. However the upload call should check your mediawiki version,
and use the api directly if it can - but I could have made a mistake.
see:
http://search.cpan.org/~exobuzz/MediaWiki-API-0.39/lib/MediaWiki/API.pm#Med…
which you can use and it will handle the tokens for you for things like
file upload
something like
$title = 'somefile.jpg';
$mw->edit( {
action => 'upload',
filename => $title,
comment => 'uploaded an image',
file => [ $title ],
ignorewarnings => 1,
bot => 1
} );
also worth noting there is the
http://search.cpan.org/~lifeguard/MediaWiki-Bot-3.005002/ extension,
that is a higher level interface and provides simpler function calls -
might be useful for you.
