file upload

I have used cgi-lite perl module to allow uploads. You can stiplulate the destination directory and use a standard form to upload the file. You would need to know who was uploading (wich I assume you do) through a login or other validation. As far as there being no chance of hacking....well that's tough....there is always a way to hack....but, if you set up a strong validation routine, you should do okay. Take a look at http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/CPAN/data/CGI_Lite/CGI_Lite.html
for documentation on CGI-Lite.

Also, check out http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Programs_and_Scripts/Perl/File_Management/File_Uploading/

for some other methods.

good luck,
Tazman
