I don't know what you mean by saying "the program would freeze"; it looks like you're getting the "program done" printout at the end, so isn't freezing.

If you're using Windows, you might try using binmode() on your file handle (as well as checking for whether the upload succeeded):

 if (!defined($file_handle)) { ... handle it ... }
 $file_handle->binmode;

The reason you got an empty file when you did this: print OUTFILE $file_handle; is probably that $file_handle was undef. If it were a valid file handle, you'd have gotten something like "IO::File=GLOB(0x83b3ca4)" in your file (you can't print a file handle to another file and expect the file to get copied).

Also, if you're on Windows, make sure to binmode OUTFILE too.
