Hi All,

I hope someone here could help me ... I know Perl, HTML and Javascript quite well, but 
CGI not at all.

I'm writing a simple file-upload Perl script. I have all the form and file handling 
stuff done. I want the script to write an HTML message to the user's browser before 
the upload begins, you know, like "Upload in progress". Then when the upload 
completes, I want to replace that screen with "Upload complete".

I'm trying simple Perl "print" commands in subroutines to write the HTML out. 
Depending on things I try, I'm getting:

- Both messages are written together AFTER the upload, or
- The 1st message is written but not the 2nd, or
- Internal Server Error 500.

Obviously there's something about writing/updating HTML and program flow that I don't 
get. Is CGI the answer?
Please help!
I'll send code if necessary, but hopefully there's an easy framework for this.

Many thanks in advance,
Martin Lomas
