With a 501, it sound like the server may not be set up for https: DESCR: The Web server does not support the functionality required to fulfill the request. Please check you URL for errors, and contact the Web server's administrator if the problem persists.
Otherwise, you should try the LWP modules: Something like: use strict; use LWP::UserAgent; use HTTP::Request::Common qw(POST); use LWP::Protocol::https; my $URL = "https://domain.com/cgi-bin/script.pl";; my $ua = new LWP::UserAgent or die "new LWP::UserAgent: $!\n"; my $req = POST $URL, Content_Type => 'form-data', Content => [ FieldName => $File ] or die "PST $URL: $!\n"; my $res = $ua->request($req) or die "request: $!\n"; if ($res->is_success) { print "Made successful connection\n\n"; print $ua->request($req)->as_string; } else { print "Scotty: Something happened to the script. Spock, check the dilithium crystals.\nSpock: Check them yourself.\nKirk: Don't make me come down there."; } #END Greg --- Guy Davis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I'm a complete Perl newbie.
