Re: Correct way to upload a file

Thanks Fred.

The problem is, I don't have access to httpd.conf, therefore I can't run
scripts like that.
Is there an alternative?

TIA

 It's not that hard, I would say it's no more complex than Mason (but
 there are varying schools of thought on that subject which I will not go

 to get started.

 conf/httpd.conf

SetHandler perl-script # tells apache mod_perl handles the request
PerlResponseHandler My::Hello  # My::Hello::handler handles / requests
 /Location

 lib/My/Hello.pm
 
 package My::Hello;

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 use Apache2::RequestRec ();  # for $r-content_type
 use Apache2::RequestIO  ();  # for $r-print
 use Apache2::Const -compile = qw( OK );  # for Apache2::Const::OK

 sub handler {
 my $r = shift;  # == here is where you get $r

 $r-content_type('text/plain');  # set the content type to text/plain
 $r-print(Hello world!);   # print the response to the client

 return Apache2::Const::OK;  # return 200 OK
 }

  It sounds like you haven't created a mod_perl handler before,

Correct way to upload a file

2007-08-10 Thread Mag Gam
Hi All,

I have just started learning perl and mod_perl, and I must admit I am
enjoying it a lot!
I am tying to upload a file, so I can do some calculations to the file, my
question is what is the correct and most efficient way to upload the
file, and perform the calculations? Should I consider using the CGI module?

TIA
