Hi, In my script, I am trying to do a CGI POST request via a web form. One of the first things I do is to create a new CGI object: 

use CGI qw(-private_tempfiles);
$CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 0;
$CGI::POST_MAX = -1;
my $cgi = CGI->new();

However, even before I get to successfully created my CGI object, I get the following error: CGI.pm: Server closed socket during multipart read (client aborted?) Premature end of script headers: <my script name> I know that one of the files I am trying to POST via the webform is a large file of 90MB, but then my limit is 500MB. Any idea what has gone wrong and if there is something I can set to fix this? This works fine when I had a much smaller file. Thanks!
