Greetings Monks,
I am a newbie seeking your advice. I am trying to add some settings to my upload script posted below. At this time it works really great, but fails to allow me to control any conditions such as:
1. set allowed ext. ie (.gif,.jpg,.jpeg)
2. control upload size. ie (max=2000)
+ anything you may feel I should also consider

I have tried many times the very best I can but still can't seem to get this right. Please help me add the conditions mentioned above for my own personal knowledge and security.

Thank you very much for your time~
Jim

#!/usr/bin/perl 
use CGI qw(:standard);

my $cgi         =       new CGI;
my $upload_dir  =       '.';

my $file        =       $cgi->param('file');
my $filename    =       $file;
$filename       =~      s/^.*(\\|\/)//g;

print $cgi->header(-type=>'text/html');

open(OUT, ">$upload_dir/$filename") || die print "Fail to upload: $!";
+ 
while(<$file>) {
        print OUT;
}
close(OUT);

print "$filename has uploaded\n";
