Hi!
I'd like to suggest you to use CGI::Upload by rob_au. It's really well written and easy to use, and might prevent you from writing exploitable code. (I've seen some pretty bad upload scripts on a page of a friend last week which could have been exploited pretty easily...). But even with using CGI::Upload you should check your Script carefully and have a look at b0ilers Hacking-CGI and of course CGI-Course by ovid. I just tell you the stuff about security because I have made same errors when I started some months ago so I want to prevent others from doing the same :)

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
