I'm now polishing a module which manages file uploads: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Uploader/ I think I want to make some slight tweaks to the API, but it's about ready for 1.0. It's built around my own common usage: Uploading images and storing meta data in a database. However, it works fine for non images as well. It doesn't meet all of your requirements, but may be useful as a component. The distribution includes a "Cookbook" with walk-through examples, as well as a complete (very simple) application. While I store the meta data in a database, I have some interest in supporting other storage schemes as well. The API is only lightly tied to need a DB now, but should be able to be un-coupled fairly easily. BTW, I looked at CGI::Upload too and don't currently recommend it. Check out the bug reports currently filed against it. Mark -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
