Your code is a bit incomplete as the saysOutput function is missing. I assume that it is something like:

sub saysOutput {
    my( @message ) = @_;
    print "Content-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n";
    print join "\r\n", @message;
};

I would first try the snippet in the Processing-a-file-upload-field of CGI documentation for copying an uploaded file:

    # undef may be returned if it's not a valid file handle
    if ( my $io_handle = $q->upload('field_name') ) {
        open ( my $out_file,">$upload_dir/$filename" )
            or die "Couldn't create upload file: $!";
        while ( my $bytesread = $io_handle->read($buffer,1024) ) {
            print $out_file $buffer;
        }
    }
