Is there a module or something that I can use to help me create a script to
allow users to upload images and text files via the web?

The module you are looking for is CGI.pm.

This is not the newsgroup for dealing with "most" cgi questions. I'd 
suggest reading the docs for CGI.pm and if you still have questions, 
direct them to news:comp.infosystems.www.authoring.cgi unless they are 
specific perl questions.



Good luck,

Hi
I just changed a recursive function to that which would only execute one
loop of the iteration per call - the calling procedure now does the
iteration.

When I tried to run and debug the former with instruction tracing, the
debugger balked and complained in the message "Function is too complex".

I probably shouldn't answer this, but I'm bored.

@emails = map /\b([\w.-]+@(?:[\w.-]+\.)+[\w.-]+?\w)\b/g, @message;

the regex isn't foolproof.

The problem:

This script uploads a empty file to a FTP server (odd), but can download one
from the same server
tickedy boo (unodd).

I am at my wits end, I do apologose in advance because this should not be
posted here.
But Im hoping to catch someone who doesn't read comp.lang.perl.modules and
only this one.
(unlikely, but who knows)

I have found a similar question to this on dejanews, but there was no
answer.
I have posted elsewhere, but there was no answer.
I have been talking to myself, but there was no answer.

Right, there we go, not very complicated but also not very functional, does
anybody have any ideas?
I have also tried this with another FTP-Server (freeserve.net) but can only
assume that it is not
a microsoft server, they hide all tell tale sigs.
I have tried 2 ISP dial-ups, both through and not through a proxy.

and for multiplication:

        7*x**3 and 21*x**2

and might even throw in a couple of spaces (using the generous 
definition of 'a couple' that we have learned here recently).

Subject: Remote access in CGI
Message-Id: <7ftgbo$qrj$1@nnrp1.dejanews.com>

Hi

I have a perl CGI script that I want to do one task when someone visiting my
web site uses it and do something else when accessed from a remote host or
refer.	I am using :

$remote = $ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'};

$refer = $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};

$ENV{'REMOTE_ADDR'} does not help and other hosts are able to cloak themselves
and make $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} return my web site's address.

So I have no sure way to identify who is accessing my web site from a browser
and who is using a script to access my script from another server.

Can someone help me.  Thanks, Vladimir.

or perhaps:

my $foo = () = localtime;
my $foo = map localtime, 'foo';

both set "$foo" to the length of "localtime()"s return list.

lucked upon a computer, and thus typed in the following:
: A *really* stupid question -- but I have yet to understand
: this "paren single-item paren" stuff with my.

Simple:

my $var = localtime;

puts the RHS in scalar context.  Thus localtime returns the current time
all pretty like.

my ($var) = localtime;

puts the RHS in list context.  Thus localtime returns a list of items
(for more details perldoc -f localtime).  This list is distributed
amongst the LHS, with $var getting the first item (seconds in the case of
localtime), and the rest going byebye.

The Perl-Users Digest is a retransmission of the USENET newsgroup
comp.lang.perl.misc.  For subscription or unsubscription requests, send
the single line:

	subscribe perl-users
or:
	unsubscribe perl-users

to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu.  

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.misc (and this Digest), send your
article to perl-users@ruby.oce.orst.edu.

To submit articles to comp.lang.perl.announce, send your article to
clpa@perl.com.

To request back copies (available for a week or so), send your request
to almanac@ruby.oce.orst.edu with the command "send perl-users x.y",
where x is the volume number and y is the issue number.

The Meta-FAQ, an article containing information about the FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users meta-faq". The real FAQ, as it
appeared last in the newsgroup, can be retrieved with the request "send
perl-users FAQ". Due to their sizes, neither the Meta-FAQ nor the FAQ
are included in the digest.

The "mini-FAQ", which is an updated version of the Meta-FAQ, is
available by requesting "send perl-users mini-faq". It appears twice
weekly in the group, but is not distributed in the digest.

For other requests pertaining to the digest, send mail to
perl-users-request@ruby.oce.orst.edu. Do not waste your time or mine
sending perl questions to the -request address, I don't have time to
answer them even if I did know the answer.
