David, Ok here is a step by step of what I am trying to do.
1- User goes to a web page that has a file upload system on it. 2- User uploads file from their computer to the server via the web page (already built) 3- After file is uploaded another web page is automatically loaded (already built) that executes my perl script. 4- When the perl script is executed nothing changes on the web page. However the script parses the file/s and, checks for errors, and enters the data extracted from the files into a database. I hope that makes sense. The perl script/program I wrote contains the following: 1- File.pm (module to parse files, (3 different kind at this time) 2- Database.pm (module to connect to any database, check for db errors etc...and push data into database) 3- Error.pm (module to print out specific errors and warnings, and test certain functions in perl script) 4- script.pl (not the actual name) (script written to call methods from the modules...this is the one that needs executing) I hope this information helps. Again, thanks for your time and help!
