Oh for chrissake. With a newish version of CGI.pm (version 2.47+, you do: 

$fh = $query->upload('FILE');
     while (<$fh>) 
{
           $filecontents .= $_;
     }

[download]
and with older versions, you do: 
my $file = $query->param('FILE');

my ($bytesread,$buffer,$filecontents);
while ($bytesread = read($file,$buffer,1024))
   { 
      $filecontents .= $buffer;
   }
undef $bytesread; undef $buffer;

[download]
In both cases the contents of the file end up in $filecontents and can be printed to a local file or worked on directly or whatever.
