First, I would suggest reading Ovid'sCGI course. There is a lot of great info on Taint Checking, decoding your raw HTTP headers, and file security. It was a great help to me.

Also, if you haven't already, read thoroughly through the CGI.pm documentation on your server. It has some good examples in there about what your doing.

Last, I would set up some "or die" gigs in your script so you know when something fails, that way you'll get a better idea of what's going on.
