If I understood you correctly you want to copy a file from a webclient to the webserver. You can not install scripts on the webclient.

Here's one solution:

1) create a webpage with a form

The form contains a file-upload input tag, like so:

<FORM ACTION="myupload.cgi" METHOD="POST" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data"> Which file do you want to upload? <input type=file size=50 maxlength=100000 name="thefile"> [...other input tags...] </FORM>

2) Now create a cgi-script

This script handles the uploaded data. with my example form the cgi-script need to be called "myupload.cgi". use the module CGI to get the data:

use CGI; $query = new CGI; $filename = $query->param('thefile'); while(<$filename>) { # do something with the data. }

But don't just copy my code, read the man page of CGI!

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
