I do pretty much exactly this (although I'm taking a file from Crystal Reporting and posting it to a Sharepoint document library). WebDAV is indeed the way to go - I originally just wrote this code to compile up with PAR so I could give people a command line tool they could use in their scripting, hence it's a little over engineered.

It's worth pointing out that in Sharepoint 2007 you can also email enable document libraries, so you can simply email an attachment and it just appears in the right place...

# Command line WebDAV client


use strict;
use warnings;

use Getopt::Long;
use HTTP::DAV;

my ( $source, $destination, $username, $password );

GetOptions    ('source=s'         => \$source,
         'destination=s'       => \$destination,
         'username=s'     => \$username,
         'password=s'        => \$password,
        );
        
unless ( $source && $destination && $username && $password ) {
    
    print "Error: Missing parameters\n\n";
    get_help();
    exit(1);
    
}

my $dav = new HTTP::DAV;

$dav->credentials(     -user        =>$username,
            -pass        =>$password,
            -url        =>$destination,  
            );
            
$dav->open( -url=>$destination )
    or die("Couldn't open $destination: " .$dav->message . "\n");

if ( $dav->put( -local => "$source", -url => $destination ) ) {
    print "\nSuccessfully uploaded $source to $destination\n";
}
else {
      print "Put failed: " . $dav->message . "\n";
}

Perl WebDAV client. 

Usage:

webdav.exe --source [path to source file(s), accepts regex] --destinat
+ion [url to WebDAV server]
    --username [your username, prefix with domain. e.g. domain\usernam
+e] --password [your password]
