Hello esteemed fellow monks

I'd like to ask for thy help with this.

I used to do that this way: 

my $q = new CGI;
my $filehandle = $q->upload("file");
...
my $file_size =  $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} - $size_other_fields - $size_for
+m_structure;

if ( $size > $limite ) { die "Wow, file too big! Bye!"; }

[download]
But now the size of this form's other input fields is getting very difficult to measure, and my users are complaining the size measure rejects files below the limit I declare as maximum.

Is there another way to do it? I mean, another way to measure the size of this uploaded file itself, without relying on the $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH}?

Thanks a lot

André
