joet3ch has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Greetings Monks .. Firefox 2.0 uploads work perfectly (or so it seems). IE 6.0 uploads the same file, but it ends up on the server as 0 bytes. CGI.pm version 3.25. Here's the snippet of code handling the upload, any ideas Monks? 
my $formquery = CGI->new;
my $formbulk = $formquery->param('bulk');

  my $uploaddir = "/tmp/";
        $formbulk =~ s/.*[\/\\](.*)/$1/;
        my $upload_filehandle = $formquery->upload("bulk");
        open UPLOADFILE, ">$uploaddir/$formbulk";
        binmode UPLOADFILE;
        while ( <$formbulk> ) {
                print UPLOADFILE;
        }
        close UPLOADFILE;
