html::form problems

[Nandita Shenvi]

Hallo All,

I have checked the mailing list and some where in 1999 a person had a similar problem and i could not find any appropriate answer to the questions that he had.
anyway, i will try to explain:
I want to write a Perl program to upload a file to a web server. Please note that I'm NOT looking for a script to create a html form with <input type=file> in it,
and I'm NOT looking for a cgi-script to handle the server side of the upload.There exist a upload.c program on the webserver. What I'm looking for is a standalone program that connects to a web server and uploads a file.


I tried to solve the problem using LWP::UserAgent.


my scrpit is as follows:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w


use LWP::UserAgent;
use HTML::Form;
use HTTP::Request;
use URI::URL;

$url = new URI::URL("http://some host");

$ua = new LWP::UserAgent;
$req = new HTTP::Request(POST, 'http://some host/navitune.html');

;
$resp = $ua->request($req)->as_string();
print "$resp\n";


this print out the whole html , i would like to fill the form in the HTML and send it to the webserver.

I am pretty new in perl and would be grateful for ur help.

thanks
nandita
