In my CGI journey so far I have had trouble displaying a progress bar
for HTTP POST uploads.
It has always been a sticky wicket.
Apache doesn't cut it. I am yet to learn nginx.
And even CGI.pm does not help much.
Also CPAN does not help.
Then something happened.
In life if you do the right things and wait long enough you will get there. ;)
So something called xHR came along. I dunno what that is.
Something that browsers began to support.
And today you can do upload progress bar, drag and drop upload,
multiple files asynchronously uploading
all with some jQuery magic and perl CGI of course using CGI.pm.
I got this working for a project of mine and it is so satisfying.
