Found a great site that clearly explains how to Upload Files Using CGI and Perl. It actually is not very difficult. Used the concepts from this site to develop a accounting tool at my place of work. Our accounting folks have been reconciling receipts manually. They receive an excel spreadsheet which detail transactions and compare it against transaction records stored in one of our databases. I simply provide web page where they can upload the excel file and code that performs the necessary checks. As a result I display to our accounting folks an exception report of any discrepancies. Next I need to give them a means to update our system as discrepancies are resolved.
Intend to use this experience to add to my-list.com the ability to upload dvd and cd jacket graphics.
