Can the web server machine reach any of the user's shares? (For example, if
they're both in the same LAN.) If so, and if your web server is running
under Win32, you can tell Perl to write to a file of the type
//machinename/share/directory/filename.ext (or
\\\\machinename\\share\\directory\\filename.ext) -- Win32 Perl understands
UNC paths.
If the web server uses a different OS (e.g. Mac OS or some flavour of Unix),
or if you can't reach the user's computer with a share, then no AFAIK.
BICBW.
Cheers,
Philip
