Hi Guys,

I'm trying to reprogram the following command with WWW::Curl. The command (which works as it is) has been provided by our site developer:

print STDOUT `curl -XPOST '$url' -H 'Authorization: Token $token' -F $gl_media_defaults{v_suffix}='\@$file_to_upload'`;

I want to have more control over error handling and the progress of large uploads as some uploads can provide no feedback for several minutes.

As others have mentioned (CURL and Perl (it rymes!)), the doc is a bit hard to access without any knowledge of Curl.

I see other advice about using LWP::UserAgent, which I'm happy to follow, but the same point applies. I don't want to have to learn the whole of Curl or UserAgent, just to upload a file.

Thanks in advance.

Steve.

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.
