Here's one: 
$SIG{__DIE__} = \&my_die;

use CGI;

$C = new CGI;
if ($C->param) {

$file=$C->param("upload");
### if you need to do fancy placement look at
### File::Basename
open (UPLOAD, "/path/to/file");

while ($bytesread=read($file,$buffer,1024)) {
    print UPLOAD $buffer;
}

print $C->header;
print $C->start_html;
print qq(<p>file uploaded successfully</p>);
print $C->end_html;
exit;
}
else
{
print $C->header;
print $C->start_html;
print $C->start_multipart_form;
print $C->filefield(-name=>'file');
print qq(<input type="submit" name="submit" value="submit">
    </form>
);
print $C->end_html;
exit;
}


sub my_die {

print $C->header;
print $C->start_html;
print $_;
print $C->end_html;
}
