Feed back in CGI::Upload

pcouderc has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I use upload() function of CGI in a cgi script of apache to upload files frome users and it works very fine.
But is there a way with upload() or another way to display some feed back to user?

Thank you in advance
Pierre Couderc

merlyn has an article on that, and using Super Search with the keywords CGI progress also yielded CGI progress information using Javascript, and will likely also yield others if that one doesn't work out for you.	[reply]

I haven't spent much time looking into CGI::Upload but it seems its a wrapper for cgi.pm type module. When CGI.pm is receiving an upload it spools the incoming data to a temporary file which you can access through a call to tmpFileName(). You may be able to use this to check on upload progress ie bytes uploaded so far using a timed javascript perhaps running in a frame to query the server periodically and give progress feedback.
