upload file with perl cgi

[Sokar]

I am designing a new feature to a services web page for the user to upload
screen dumps of problems onto my server for inspection and maybe further
use.

I have investigated the <input TYPE='file' NAME='pic' size='15'> for use in
the html part.

The problem comes when I get to the perl cgi part of the code, I am havin
problems saving the .jpg onto my server.

Can anyone provide a little help on how to upload files onto the server via
a web interface?

Thanks

John

What was the outcome of the investigation?

What sort of problems? (Random shot-in-the-dark: did you forget binmode()?).

Can anyone provide a little help on how to upload files onto the server via
a web interface?

I do a file upload in part of a script I wrote.

This is the code for the input field:
<input type="file" name="filename" size=40 maxlength=64 accept="pdf/*">

Then, in an upload subroutine I do something like this:
$pdfdir = "/admin/ppv_pdfs";
$x = file_upload($filename, $pdfdir);

You don't need to do "$x =" if all you do is upload the file. But, if you
can use the return value then it could be helpful as well.
