Re^2: Upload Progress Bar

Hey Red, Thanks a lot, that´s exactly what I was looking for. I´ve visited CPAN and in fact I think it will do. But, tell me, I can run this module even without mod_perl? My host's server is Apache.

The one thing that still remains a mystery to me is how to manage, and by how many scripts, the signals and the processing of the file. I still don´t know if I can have the same script that processes the file upload and processing, to check $upload->size, tell the status bar (in wich page?) the new status or to get lost as the upload ends.

Other thing is the javascript. I´m not very skilled in javascript. Can you send me your code, or some sample of it? I don´t have a clue of how to do it...

Thank you very much!

André

For information on javascript check here. I had the upload handler write the byte count to a session file, and the monitor process which was opened through the javascript on the "Upload" button read from the same session. CGI.pm also has an upload_hook subroutine which you can use to do this - you don't explicitly need a::r. You might also want to take a look at Apache::UploadMeter , I was using mod_perl2 so I had to roll my own.	[reply]
