HTTP Client for file upload

saharvey2 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to develop a PERL script to upload a file to an existing web application. I am having trouble getting started, all the upload scripts refer to server side upload, not client side upload. Examples or just pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated. TIA Stuart

Try to use HTTP::Request::Common. Its documentation contais a receipt for file uploading.	[reply]

Excellent recommendation. Together with LWP to actually do the POST, and you've got a winning pair.	[reply]

Well, there always has to be something on the server side! Look at the docs for CGI.pm it hs some examples in it. jdtoronto	[reply]

jdtoronto, thank you for your reply. I must be dense, I don't see where CGI.pm helps me with a client side script that does http file upload. Can you be a little more specific.	[reply]
