i don't really understand how uploading-process works.

If you using CGI, see CGI, in particular the section on Older ways to process uploads

The original way to process file uploads with CGI.pm was to use param(). The value it returns has a dual nature as both a file name and a lightweight filehandle.

You should find your working script will fail if you force $file into scalar by adding the line 

if($file=~/[\w _\.\-\(\)\+]+\.jpg/i) {
  $file = ''.$file;

Does $src have some added processing that $file doesn't. ?
