in reply to Setting max upload size/MIME types

Did you check if there was an error reported by CGI? Did you receive the large file? A POST larger than the limit should report an error through the error method. 
my $error = $cgi->error();
if ($error) {
    die $error;
}

To get the MIME type that the browser report, use the uploadInfo mehod. 
my $file = $cgi->param('upload');
my $content_type = $cgi->uploadInfo($file)->{'Content-Type'};

    Hey,

    I had previously added the form attribute required to upload.

    Yes, the larger file ends up being uploaded.

    I will try you playing around with my coding with your following suggestions and will update this thread if succesfull for others to use for future referrence.

    Thanks,
    Anthony
