Assuming the web server is running as nobody, make the directory, change
the group on the directory, then change the permissions. Here's an
example of making directory foo which is writeable by the httpd process:
/bin/mkdir ./foo
chgrp nobody ./foo/
chmod 550 ./foo/
If at all possible you should store uploaded data into a database rather
than on the filesystem. MySQL is free, and writing some Perl code to
insert and retrieve data to and from the database via the CGI is fairly
easy.
