Hello Monks,
I am having a webpage having the following
<input type="file" name="theFile" id="fieldFile" value="" /> <input type="submit" value="Upload" onclick="return doSubmit()" /> <script type="text/javascript"> <!-- function doSubmit() { form.submit(); } </script>

I am simulating an file upload using a PERL script. Here i was told that I have to pass the form variables 'thefile' and also the submit button value. Any idea how i could achieve this via HTTP::Request::Common? Below is my curent code and it dont seems to work
my $filename = "MyDoc.csv"; my $file = "C:\\" . $filename; $request=POST $upload_url,[ Content_Type => 'multipart/form-data', $file, $file, Content => [ 'upload' => [$file,$filename]], submit => 'Upload', Upload => 1, theFile=>$file ];
Any ideas, suggestions
Regards
Karthik
