Rails - Jan 2006 - VCard Upload Import

I''m trying to add Vcard import functionality and I keep getting the  
following using the code provided below. I''m using the VPIM library  
to decode the vcards and add them to my database table. Can someone  
help me out, or point me in a different direction for importing  
VCards. Thanks.

Error:
cannot convert StringIO into String


Controller Code:
require ''vpim/vcard''

if request.post? and params[:import_file]
	cards = Vpim::Vcard.decode(File.open(params[:import_file]))
end

Try File::read instead of File::open.

I still get the same "cannot convert StringIO into String" error  
message when I changed it to File.read
