I'm trying to use a system () command on a file that has just been uploaded (using the file upload mod) but am having difficulty finding where to place it. Anyone know?

I would recommend not using the system call in public scripts...read the replies that Mark and Alex posted in the NSLOOKUP thread in the Perl/CGI forum a few weeks ago...using the system call within public scripts is a major security risk.

I would recommend using File:: or other Perl modules to accomplish whatever you want.

OK thanks for that. Would you know where to place the command executing the pm within the file upload mod?

What are you trying to do?
