[MacPerl-WebCGI] Uploading over http

[Adam Jenkins <adam.jenkins@flinders.edu.au>]

Hi!

I'm having a bit of trouble, which may or may not be possible to solve.  I
need to allow people to upload to one of my mac web servers, but I don't
want to give them full ftp access. So I thought that it would be a cool
idea to give them limited access via the web browser ftp form thing.  I had
wished to use cgi.pm, but was told (in the cgi.pm information) that file
upload does not tend to work very well with Macs, if at all.  So instead I
wrote my own parser, and the cgi works pretty well - you can upload any
type of file, and the cgi will save it in the required folder, add it to
the index html page, and do all the other bits and pieces that I want it to.

The problem? It appears that I am limited to files of around 20k. This is
bareable, but it would be best if there wasn't such a small size limit to
the files. I gather that this is a property of the file upload function,
not perl per se, but I am wondering if MacPerl can get around this.  Is it
possible?  Or do I need to work in C or something to make this happen?

Thanks heaps,

Adam.
