CGI module and recovering a file transfered via a html form.

[lynn]

Hello,

I am new in handeling of html and cgi tranfert I am working with
unix macosx and I know that I manage to transfer from a html form a
simple txt file with <INPUT TYPE="file" NAME="SEQFILE"> to a cgi
script called X.cgi with <form ACTION="X.cgi" METHOD = POST
NAME="MainX" ENCTYPE= "multipart/form-data">

To obtain the name of the file in the X.cgi I manage to use CGI module
with $query= param->'SEQFILE' but how can I handle the all file in
this X.cgi.
My aim is to use it in a perl command in this script X.cgi as:
system (/usr/bin/perl, /bla/bli/blo/Y.pl, "the file text in SEQFILE",
other options to follow) to execute the Y.pl script with options as
the file...

Is it suffucient to explain my situation or do I have to be more
precise in the editions of the scripts to have some help?

Please, I really would like to learn and understand more about it...

LN

PS Have a nice WE!

No.

Posting a simple script that shows us what you've got so far would
certainly increase your chances to get useful advise.
