Actually $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} contains more than just the file data. If you upload multiple files, or have other form fields, using $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} is way off. My guess would be either with length or with -s/stat.

Update: Note that even tho you only send file data thru, the $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} still isn't the actual size of the file. Other data is send along, data which CGI novices don't need directly.
