Hi monks!

I am trying to upload a file from a user. Application is written in CGI-Perl. File name is been copied but not the data. I think the problem is with the line  while(read($fh, $buffer, BUFFER_SIZE))  #Write content to OUTPUT file

Also I am not able to upload (application creats the file in my server machine) the file other than /tmp location. I have tried uploading the file in ~/usr1/temp with the permission of temp as 775 and user and group owner as nobody. But its not even able to copy the name of the file as it is doin in /tmp case.

Pl guide me through.

HTML file and the example file that is to be uploaded by user is also attached.

Thank you for your time for reading it.
