Here is where I am at now:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use CGI;
use Fcntl;

        my $formdata = CGI->new;
        my $file = $formdata->param('file');
        my $filename = $formdata->param('filename'); #user supplied fi
+le name
        my $fh = $formdata->upload('file');
        my $upload_dir = "/var/www/html/eface/client_pics/";
        my $buffer = "";

        print $formdata->header();
        print STDERR "$file\n";
        print STDERR "$filename\n";
        if (defined $fh){
        print STDERR "\$fh is defined\n";
        }


# Open the file to be wriiten into the upload directory
        sysopen OUTPUT, $upload_dir . $filename, O_CREAT | O_EXCL;

# Write file to upload directory
        while (read ($fh, $buffer, 16384)){
        print OUTPUT $buffer;
        }
        close OUTPUT;

This code still gives me the file named $filename in my upload directory $upload_dir but it still contains 0K byte size.

Now when I run in my code: 

  while (<$fh>){
        print;
        }

it does print out data to the browser so I know that the temporary file is being found. I can't quite solve this. Any Ideas?

Thanks Again for everyones help.
