Why not select the file on the html page ?

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>MAINTENANCE PAGE</title>
</head>
<body>
<form action="Maintenance_Framework.cgi" method = "post" enctype="mult
+ipart/form-data">
<p>MAINTENANCE PAGE<br/>
Circle:
<select name="Circle" >
    <option value="Gabon">Gabon</option>
    <option value="Tanzania">Tanzania</option>
</select>
Technology : 
<select name="Techno" >
    <option value="Core">Core</option>
    <option value="RAN">RAN</option>
  </select>
</p>
<br>
File to Upload: <input type="file" name="filecsv"/>
<input type="submit" value="Upload"/>
</form>
</body>
</html>

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post, it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":


  • Posts are HTML formatted. Put <p> </p> tags around your paragraphs. Put <code> </code> tags around your code and data!
  • Titles consisting of a single word are discouraged, and in most cases are disallowed outright.
  • Read Where should I post X? if you're not absolutely sure you're posting in the right place.
  • Please read these before you post! —
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags:
    a, abbr, b, big, blockquote, br, caption, center, col, colgroup, dd, del, details, div, dl, dt, em, font, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, hr, i, ins, li, ol, p, pre, readmore, small, span, spoiler, strike, strong, sub, summary, sup, table, tbody, td, tfoot, th, thead, tr, tt, u, ul, wbr
  • You may need to use entities for some characters, as follows. (Exception: Within code tags, you can put the characters literally.)
            For:     Use:
    & &amp;
    < &lt;
    > &gt;
    [ &#91;
    ] &#93;
