Hi

I am trying to set up a web service in Perl. This should provide a function for clients to upload their files. I am new to web services. To start with, I have created a simple web service which will add two numbers. Here is the server side code: 

use Frontier::RPC2;

my $rpc = new Frontier::RPC2;
my $methods = {'sum' => \&sum};

sub sum {
        my ($arg1, $arg2) = @_; 
        return $arg1 + $arg2;
}

print "Content-type: text/xml\n\n";
my $buffer = "";
# Reads the request in from STDIN up to CONTENT_LENGTH
if (defined $ENV{"REQUEST_METHOD"} && $ENV{"REQUEST_METHOD"} eq 'POST'
+) {
        if (exists($ENV{"CONTENT_TYPE"}) && $ENV{"CONTENT_TYPE"} eq 't
+ext/xml' ) {
                read(STDIN, $buffer, $ENV{"CONTENT_LENGTH"});
        }
}
my $responce = $rpc->serve($buffer, $methods);
print $responce . "\n";

And here is the client side code: 

use Frontier::Client;
my $url = "http://192.168.1.207/cgi-bin/ws.pl";
my @args = (5, 2);
my $client = new Frontier::Client( url => $url, debug => 0);
print $client->call('sum', @args);

Please let me know how I should go about for providing an upload function. If there is also any URL from which I can get to know this information kindly let me know.

Thanks
