I have a script that e-mails submitted form data.

I have a second script that uploads a user selected file from a form to the server.

Is there a tutorial on how I could add the second script to the first script?

Or any pointers u can give me to get started?

well, you can just copy and paste the two codes together into one script. You can also use "use" and "require" to chain scripts and modules together.

Can i really just paste the second script inside and below the first one?

the explanation for Use and Require is a lil over my head should i really be focused on learning them to get this to work?

You should be able to but it might require a bit more editing than just copy code B to the bottom of code A, but sometimes that is all that is necessary.

If you want to write better perl scripts then you have to know about "use" and "require", they are used all the time and are necessary for writing modular scripts.
