 The example given in cgi.rb is 

=== GET MULTIPART FORM VALUES
 
  require "cgi"
  cgi = CGI.new
  values = cgi['field_name']   # <== array of 'field_name'
  values[0].read               # <== body of values[0]
  values[0].local_path         # <== path to local file of values[0]
  values[0].original_filename  # <== original filename of values[0]
  values[0].content_type       # <== content_type of values[0]
 
and values[0] has Tempfile class methods.
(Tempfile class object has File class methods)
