Dear Monks,
i know this has been covered many times, but the code i have is just freaking me out. I tried to do it with as few as possible lines, but it would still give me silly errors, i just cant understand why?! here is the code, pls help if you can! 
#!perl -wT

use CGI;
use CGI::Carp qw ( fatalsToBrowser );
use strict;
use Fcntl qw ( :DEFAULT :flock );

use constant UPLOAD_DIR        => "c:/some/path/Admin/images/";

my $q    = new CGI;

my $filename    = $q->param('file');
my $fh            = $q->upload('file');

$filename        =~ s/[^\w.-]/_/g;
if ($filename =~ /^(\w[\w.-]*)/) {
    $filename = $1;
}
else {
    error($q, "Invalid file name." );
}

my $upload_dir    = UPLOAD_DIR . $filename;


sysopen(OUTPUT, $upload_dir, O_CREAT | O_RDWR | O_EXCL);

my $buffer = "";

while (read($fh, $buffer, 16384)) {
    print OUTPUT $buffer;
}
 
close OUTPUT;

print    $q->header,
        $q->start_html("At long last"),
        $q->h1("done dude...doh"),
        $q->end_html;

As it is now, this would throw an error like: 
Can't use an undefined value as a symbol reference at C:/some/path/aga
+in.pl line 34.

or something like: 
Error near ""binmode

Essentially i tried to follow the docs, made use of past posts here in <a href="www.perlmonks.org>perlmonks, with no apparent success though!!
Any help will do!!!
