I have an upload script that is really bugging me. I can upload files up to 52k, but anything higher gives me an error. Any ideas what might be wrong? Here is my code: 

#!C:\perl\bin\perl.exe -w
$| = 1; 

use CGI qw(:standard); 
$cgi = new CGI; 
$path = "c:\\windows\\desktop";

print<<EOT;
<CENTER><TABLE width="766" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<TR><TD colspan="4"><b>The following files were uploaded:<BR>&nbsp;</b
+></TD></TR>
<TR bgcolor="black">
<TD>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</TD>
<TD><FONT color="white"><B>FILE:</B></FONT></TD>
<TD><FONT color="white"><B>DETAILS:</B></FONT></TD>
<TD><FONT color="white"><B>STATUS:</B></FONT></TD>
</TR>

$file12 = $cgi->param('LARGE_PHOTO');
$file13 = $cgi->param('FLYER_URL');

#directory you want to upload to 
$dir = "c:/windows/desktop"; 

push @files, ($file1,$file2,$file3,$file4,$file5,$file6,$file7,$file8,
+$file9,$file10,$file11,$file12,$file13);

foreach $file (@files) {

    $name=$file;
    $name =~ s/.:\\.*\\//;
    if (-e "c:\\windows\\desktop\\$name") {

    $file = uc($file);
