jerrygarciuh has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Esteemed Monks,
My masters desire a script which can be used to browse for a CSV, upload it, and execute a mySQL update using it's contents.
My masters desire a script which can be used to browse for a CSV, upload it, and execute a mySQL update using it's contents.
My skills allow me to code this without issue using Text::CSV and (obviously) DBI and CGI. The script will be protected by .htaccess and it's own seperate password. The script will unlink or relocate the CSV after a successful update.
I still feel I must be missing some deeper security issue. Does anyone see one from this synopsis?
TIA
jg
