file upload progress bar

[kromych]

Hello
I am new to perl so it might be simple for most of you guys. I created a little website for my client with file upload/download facilities. Now client asking for a progress bar to be shown when file uploading. As I know its not possible in PHP in which the website is built (at list without some plugins for php and hosting company wouldn’t bother to install them) so I wonder how I can do it in cgi. I already downloaded a few similar scripts but they all have staff i don’t need (email sending etc) and its still hard for me to find the only progress bar in it. So can any one show me how to do it.
Thanks

As far as I know it is not possible with perl running as a CGI. The display would be in the browser and perl can only display stuff in the browser indirectly. So you would have to use javascript and something to format the display, html/css. There is a module you can look into, CGI:rogressBar, but the display is not a true progressbar but more a visual aid to keep the user occupied.

Not CGI, but it may fit your needs:

Apache2::UploadProgress
