Upload Files progress bar

[skyy]

Hi... i am doing some CGI script using perl. I would like to create a progress bar to indicate the progress of the uploading. Is this possible? i don't have the CGI::ProgressBar module...

Is it possible to get the number of bytes transfered then divide by the size of the file to upload and then draw a simple image through html?

It is possible yes. Is it easy? No.

I've never used CGI::ProgressBar, but that might be something worth exploring. Overall though, I think the simpliest method is to simply have an animated gif that implies that the website is working and will be done eventually.

cpan CGI::ProgressBar

If you want an interactive Progress Bar, the only real way to do it is to use Ajax. This is something that is currently beyond my experience or interest.

Any new idea how to go about doing the upload progress bar?

Thanks..
