I'm having a problem with a file upload CGI script. It seems no matter how high I set $CGI::POST_MAX (using CGI.pm), I can never upload more than 1 mb to the server. The error code return by the server is "413 Request Entity Too Large". Doesn't seem to matter if the file is binary or text and everything smaller than 1 MB uploads fine.

Could there be a server setting to adjust or is there a problem with my code? 


$CGI::POST_MAX=1024*100000; 

my $q = new CGI;
my $myFile = $q->upload('file');

binmode($myFile);

 if (!$myFile && cgi_error()) {
      print $q->header(-status=>cgi_error());
      print $q->p("Error"); 

      exit 0;
   }

my $dir = "c:\\inetpub\\scripts\\perl\\uploads";

open (MYFILE,">$dir\\test_upload.txt") || die $!;

binmode(MYFILE);
    
     while (<$myFile>) {print MYFILE $_; }
     close (MYFILE);

Server is NT4 SP6a

Thanks for the help!
