Programatically posting a file

[b_naick]

I have a script which is called when a form is submitted. The form
takes as input a file.

I need to save the file locally and then make an HTTP POST request to
an ASPX page on another server. This post request needs to contain the
file I just saved locally.

How do I go about it? The ASPX page is designed to accept a form which
is "POST"ed.

How can I use Perl to manufacture this POST request to the ASPX page?

BTW: My Perl knowledge is very limited..

Thanks.
