OK, I was able to find an open source uploader and intercept the header before it printed. Here' where I put the code:


if ($action eq 'admin') {
    print $query->header;
    if ($login && $password)  {
        &admin($query, $login, $password);
    } else {
        print &PagePassword($NAME_TITLE{'common_admin'});
    }
} elsif ($action eq 'upload') {

##### My code begins #####

use CGI qw(:cgi);
    use strict;
    `perl newimg2db.pl > newimgseekurl.txt`;
    sleep 1 while ( !(-e "newimgseekurl.txt") );
    
    use File::Copy;
    copy("newimgseekurl.txt", "newimgseekurl2.txt") or die "File canno
+t be copied.";
    my $file = "newimgseekurl.txt";
    unlink($file);
    
      open FILE, "newimgseekurl2.txt" or die "Couldn't open file: $!";
      my $newimgseekurl = <FILE>;
      close FILE;
    print redirect("$newimgseekurl");

##### My Code Ends #####

    if ($dir = &check_password('guest', $login, $password)) {
        print &Upload($query, $dir);
    } else {
        print &BadPassword($NAME_TITLE{'common_member'});
    }
} else {
    print $query->redirect($FORM_URL);

This did not prevent the file from uploading and did properly redirect. Thanks for the help, views and voting.
