Are you sure you are not hitting the CGI::POST_MAX limit? Have you checked cgi_error()? Have you tried a dump of STDIN to STDOUT (ie your uploaded file back to the browser) to see what is happening. CGI::Simple has much better file upload error reporting than CGI.pm and uses the same interface so this may be an easy solution to diagnose the problem.
