Re: Passing a file from a form, processing, and then outputting as html

What i am trying to do is make a simple form, have an upload box for a file which contains data. This file is then processed via perl script, and then the results need to print out in the browser.

sounds like a job for ajax

It's possible to do such a thing. Yet there's no reason a plain old CGI can't accept a file upload, process it, and print out results.	[reply]
