Monks,

From everything I have read, the following code should work. I'm trying to upload a file and then save it on the server. It is creating the file, but does not write the contents from the uploaded file into it. I'm getting a file with 0 bytes. Any ideas what is wrong? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
 
# Display all erors to screen
$|++; # autoflush buffers;
use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser';
print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";
 
use strict; 
use CGI qw/:standard/;
 
my $infile = upload('file') or die "File was not uploaded correctly\n"
+;
 
test(); 
display_page();
 
 
open (OUT, ">/tmp/uploaded") or die "Can't open file: $!\n"; 
 
sub test { 
 my $buffer;
  while ( read($infile,$buffer,1024) ) {           
     print OUT $buffer; 
  }
}
 
sub display_page { 
   my $message = "$_[0]";
   print 
     header, 
     start_html( "-title" => "Results Page"),
     p(" "), 
     p("$infile was uploaded correctly" ),
     p(" "),
     end_html;
}
