About your second question - those wierd file names - what I think is happening is that your script is failing to complete on the server. During file upload, CGI.pm creates temporary files as you mention to hold the data while the script does something with it. Once the script completes, these files are deleted, but if your script is erroring out, then the files could stick around.

I suggest that you look in the apache error log, but if I had to make a guess I'd say that the code -s FH is causing trouble, and you really want to say -s $fn, though you'd also want to say close FH; immediately after the while loop.
