Hi there Monks!

I am having a problem with my code where I can not understand why the variable of the file handle is empty.
Here is where its happening:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict ;
use warnings ;
use CGI ;
use Net::FTP;

my $cgi = CGI->new();

...

my $file_name = $cgi->param( 'doc' ) || '';
$cgi->upload( 'doc_upload' );

# Can I alter where the file is temporally written here?
my $tmp_file = $cgi->tmpFileName( $file_name );

I'm using this code
 warn qq{rename ("$tmp_file", "temp/$file_renamed");\n};
 if (!rename("$tmp_file", "temp/$file_renamed" )) {
  warn $!, "\n";
}
chmod 0664, "tmp/$file_renamed";

# Error:
#Cannot open Local file doc1.txt: No such file or directory

to print what I am trying to rename to and I found that the "$tmp_file" is empty.
 rename ("", doc1.txt");

When it should be printing something like this:

rename ("/tmp/967iaq5eJv", "doc1.txt");

My question is if there is a way to specify were the temp file handle gets written to instead of "/tmp".
At the end of the renaming of the file, I need to FTP this file and or course, it doesn't work because it cant find the file to use in "put". 
...
#my $put_file = $ftp->put("$file_renamed") or die "Cannot put file ", 
+$ftp->message;
...
Error : Cannot put file The system cannot find the file specified.

I hope I could explain what is happening with the code and thanks a lot for looking at it!!!
