in thread Executing Perl Script from a Web Page

This depends on a few things... but, you could have a Perl script that watches the file upload by how much of the file is uploaded so far. You can steal the size of the file from the Content-size: header, pass it to the second script as a query string, and have the script return a page with a meta refresh tag so the page will reload every second or so.

That's putting more strain on the server; how important is it to have a window display the current upload?
