Hi Fred,

You might take a look at the "PERL Black Book". It is a book about perl and has lots of examples including one for uploading files. This is from the back cover of the book:

This is the most comprehensive Perl book available. With more than 1,000 examples, this unique book covers Perl from the most basic syntax to the most advanced Internet programming. From creating guest books to shopping cart programs, from getting started to writing bidirectional Internet socket programs, this book covers perl more thoroughly than any two of its competitors, and, in addition, includes hundreds of pages on CGI programming for the internet. Every topic is illustrated with at least one complete working example. This book is designed to be the new standard in Perl coverage, more complete-and more accessible-than ever before. The new second addition of this book, which I plan to get in the near future, includes using perl with SOAP, XML, etc.

It has more than 1 million copies in print.

Also, you might do a search of Google for perl scripts. I'm have a feeling you will find at least one upload file script already written, tested, and ready to go. Also, you might take a look at the following link:

http://open-perl-ide.sourceforge.net/

This site provide a window IDE for Perl It allows you to step through your perl script while watch your variable. Also, you can assign break-points during testing of scripts, etc.
