[NTLUG:Discuss] Uploading to a web site.

[Stuart Johnston]

You might want to use a java applet like jupload.sf.net for the client 
side.  This makes it a lot easier to upload multiple files at once, 
compared to an html form.  Then you need a script on the server, php, 
perl, whatever, that will handle the upload.

If you want to keep it simple, you can use Perl's CGI module to handle 
both the front-end and the back-end.
