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!

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
