question 1: is your form set with ENCTYPE="formdata/multi-part" ?

Yes :
CGI returns a magic GLOB for you. 
$FileHandle = GGI::->new();
$FileStream = $FileHandle->('AUT_file');

[download]
gives you an actual GLOB. However, if you do: 
print $FileStream,"\n";

[download]
you'll notice that is prints the filename. If you do: 
print <$FileStream>,"\n";

[download]
you'll notice it will print the file-data.

No :
Fix that - (eg: <form METHOD="POST" ACTION="my_script.cgi" ENCTYPE="formdata/multi-part"> ) and then read part 'Yes'
