Need software for PC to auto post to a form

Needs to be done on a schedule

We are encrypting credit card numbers in our database using RSA. The public key is kept on the server, and the private key is kept on some PC.

We have a web page on the site that is a form. You upload a file to this form which contains the private RSA key and it in turn decrypts the credit cards in the database and charges any of them that need to be charged, then deletes the uploaded file.

So here's what I need: a program that runs on my PC that can post a file to my website's form every hour. The program should be able to log the results and maybe even email me if something didn't go right.

I was thinking a website uptime monitor would do the trick but I need one that can upload a file to a form. I could always write a perl script or something to do this, but I don't really want to reinvint the wheel unless I have to.

Anyone ever heard of software that might be able to do something like this?

I case anyone else ever needs this info, I was able to use CURL to do exactly what I needed.

Just created a batch file that called CURL with some parameters and then set it up to run from the windows schedular.

Worked like a champ.
