Hello, thanks for looking at my question!

I need to offer visitors to my web site a simple form to fill out
which includes a photo upload "browse ..." field.  Where can I find a
simple PERL or CGI script that can handle the results of this form,
saving both the text and the photo into a directory on my server?  If
it then loaded a page showing the uploaded information, all the
better.

Does anyone know where I could find such a script, already written?  Thanks!

To give you an idea, this URL shows more or less what I'm looking for:

http://www.sitepoint.com/print/uploading-files-cgi-perl

except that this particular script does not seem to save the text
contents of the form into a file on the directory.

There is no answer at this time.

Am not sure if this is what you're looking for, but its a script I use
called "Gallery". Here's where you download it:

http://gallery.menalto.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=phpWiki&file=index&pagename=Download

and here's where it's in use (my site):

http://www.pancakephotos.com

I hope this helps!

Thank you for the suggestion and for taking time to look ....

... that is not quite what what we're needing, though.  "Gallery" is a
complex web application that allows people to build online photo
albums.  It looks like a good program for that --- but what we need is
just a simple CGI / PERL script that allows a person to upload a
single photo and will save it in a directory along with the content of
a few text fields.

Basically, we want to use this to upload photos and descriptions of
user's  vehicles for inclusion into an auto classifieds.  **No, we're
not looking for any of those complete online auto classifieds database
applications that are out there**, just a simple script that will take
a person's photo and save it in a directory, along with the contents
of their "make, model, description, etc." text fields.  If it can then
load a page that "reads back" their uploaded info to them, all the
better.

Hope that helps clarify ... thank you  again!
