Why are you using $file for the upload field?

# name entered by the user for the uploaded file
my $file = $formdata->param('file');

# the actual filehandles for the uploaded file
my $fh = $formdata->upload('file');

Obviously $file and $filename are getting printed. Since "$fh is defined" wasn't printed, we know it is undefined. Why is it undefined? Unless $file is 'file' or there's an upload field called 'test.jpg', $fh will be undefined. As for the "Premature end of script headers" error, I noticed that you didn't print a header. Thus the error message.

Hope this helps.
