you can place them in your site and make the extension .shtml, I didn't write perl for a long time (as a matter of fact I never wrote my perl script just edited them), but I did it like that and used an include function to later include my php file (which the serber executed), the upload script worked and it included from the perl my php script which parsed my site as I remember I had problems with paths and permissions, maybe this tips might help you, to write the right paths and the scripts in cgi-bin should be executable and stuff Yes, I wasn't much of help ? but I don't know what you have there.

Hi,

it works for me now, thank you. But when I tried to upload a 2MB+ file for testing purposes I was stuck in the loading process forever.. ISP problem or is there a low limit for Perl too? I don't know if there is a cgi.ini so I was wondering where to find out this limit. Thanks for your help, Quatrux!

Well, if you want to do it with php, you could use an .htaccess file, but not all servers lets to do this, try putting a .httaccess file in your public_html directroy with this code.



also you can use it to change php/apache configuration, like I always turn this off for better programming.



Try and tell me the results if php will let you upload more than 2mb I never tryed it.

Oh nice to know, that this is possible, I always thought we couldn't change the php.ini. You should make a nice tutorial some time! This is the thing that I was searching for, thanks a lot.
Are register_globals on on Astahost? I never tried cos I do it the "right" way anyway, but I thought they were off..
You just opened a door for me, thanks!

no problems, always happy to help if I can.. yeah, register globals is on on astahost and that is quite unsave.. hmm maybe I could write some tutorial, need to try.
