Upload Progress bar with mod

jdrago_999 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Monks,

Aside from using Apache2::Request, is there another way to handle file uploads under mod_perl2 that will still allow me to show a kind of progress bar for the upload?

Example (using Apache2::Request): http://www.devstack.com/examples/upload.asp

The reason I am looking for another option is that Apache2::Request has a low installation success rate, and contrary to the docs, you cannot change the maximum upload file size to anything greater than 100Mb.

Best regards,
John Drago

There's Apache::UploadMeter and Apache2::UploadProgress.	[reply]

Apache2::UploadProgress looks good, but it also looks a bit monolithic for my needs. I have yet to delve into Apache's Bucket Brigade API. Looks like that might be the way to go on this one.	[reply]

Hello, I haven't had the need lately, but this is what I'm using next time I do: http://digitarald.de/project/fancyupload/2-0/showcase/photoqueue This way, you really don't have to do anything special on the backend. Hook the js uploader to the backend framework uploader, and you're done On the downside, if your users have anything less than moderate experience they might have trouble with it.
