Well, the upload applet is for customers to be able to upload files
for printing, business cards, bookmarks, that kind of thing.
It needs to be as simple and as automated and seamless with the site
as possible.
And it works great, we've had no problems, except that people don't
see any kind of progress bar and think it's stalled while uploading
and abort when actually everything's fine.

In response to another question, I guess it doesn't matter if it's
Pearl or Javascript. I'm just looking for something that'll work. =)

Thanks!
Liam
