If you want to upload the file as a file, you need to use a file field. If
you want to paste the text into a text field and then save it as a file on
the server, that's another story.

Do you NEED the return code from the system call? Is there some text

so, you can just use backticks and parse the output first to see if it was
successful.
$output = `sqlrun mysqlfile.sql`;
$output =~ /failed/ ||
