Hi Stephen

That's a good point. The way I've got things setup right now is that the files are first uploaded to a temp location and are then parsed into postgresql/postgis. I need to look into what you're suggesting and it's obviously a more efficient way of achieving the same result. Thanks,

Chetan

If you want to do it on-the-fly you can use CGI.pm and its upload-hook
to avoid any disk i/o on the web server (and avoid any temp file
creation, or limits due to space on the disk, etc).
