Hi,
I have been studying with the O'Reilly book "CGI Programming with Perl" -
Chapter 5 page 99
Below is an example of a upload.cgi that utilizes CGI.pm
I am not able to get it to work correctly yet and I am trying to find out if
it is the directory I am trying to load the file to or a progammatical
error. The html is at:
http://www.vargasmedia.com/upload.htm
I have been using
http://www.vargasmedia.com/cgi-bin/env_var.cgi
to help me get the information I need to upload files using the correct
path.
Is that a good way to go about it and if so what Environment Variable should
I be looking at to return a path I can use...
DOCUMENT_ROOT
I have an empty folder on my server under www that is called "uploads" and
wanted to upload files there.
Here is the code from the Book "CGI Programming with Perl - it is in Chapter
5 - page 99
-PS:btw- What is the CHMOD setting that I should be using with this CGI and
"uploads" directory?
Forgive me I'm new :)
Any help extremely appreciated.
Steve
