The title says it all! I am having a hard time uploading large text (over 5 meg) documents onto my server. Small documents upload correctly. The problem occurs for both Netscape and IE. I originally had set MAX_FILE_SIZE and MAX_DIR_SIZE but this didn't seem to do anything. some relevant code: 
use strict;
use CGI;

my $q = new CGI;
my $path = "/home/nobody/d2dReviewDatFiles/" . $project . "/";
my $newFile = $path . "allRecords.txt";

my $uploadedFile = $q->upload("file" );
  open (NEWREF, ">$newFile");
  binmode $uploadedFile;
  binmode NEWREF;
  while (<$uploadedFile>) {
    print NEWREF;
  }
  close (NEWREF);

Wathcing my /usr/tmp directory I notice that the temperorary CGI file being created stalls at a few hundred thousand k (size varies from aprox. 100000 to 550000) Eventually the browser quits with a 'The page cannot be displayed' message I originally was using CGI.pm version 2.46 but upgraded to the latest version (2.752) If anyone could help that'd be great!
