Hi, I've got a web form that allows a user to browse to an excel file on their computer and input it and the year as parameters to run a perl script
FORM :
<input type="file" value="excel" name="file" size="15">
How do you know that the filename will be less than 16 characters?
<input type="text" name="year" size="15">
SCRIPT:
use CGI; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; $q=new CGI;
my $oExcel = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; my $user_ssheet=$q->param('file'); my $oBook = $oExcel->Parse($user_ssheet); my $year=$q->param('year');
BUT I keep getting a "HTTP 500 - Internal server error". However if I hard code in the reference to the excel file, like so :
Have you tried using "fatalsToBrowser" Also, what does your server logs say about the error?
my $user_ssheet="excel_file.xls";
it works fine !? Is it something to do with paths from the fiel input type?
Likely something to do with CGI and Server PATH interaction. Also, there is a beginners-cgi group which covers Perl CGI programming.
