Question

I need to create a form where the user can browse his/her hard drive and send a file to me as an email attachment. I can't find any examples of this or similar topics in any of my 4 books. I have found a few examples of uploading files to a server, but I don't want this to happen due to security issues. I want to get the files myself and then upload them to the server myself. I have just recently started working with Perl.

Any examples, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thumbs up

Check out Datatrend Software. They have an excellent script that does all kinds of neat stuff with file attachements. I'm sure you could adapt it to your needs.

Cheers,

Mickalo

If you want to have a file emailed to you from a web site visitor, it's going to have to go to the server first. You could have the script delete the file immediately after emailing it to you though.
