I have had a script running for a couple of years with no problems. It uploads a file. A couple of weeks ago it quit saving the files, everything else in the script continued to work.

I built this short program to see if I could get it to work? It doesn't work either. It is running on Apache version 2.2.17. They recently upgraded to cpanel 11. They assure me they haven't done anything to affect my script. :) 

#!/usr/bin/perl --

use CGI qw( :standard escapeHTML );

my $directory = "/home/curbdire/www/uploadedimage/";

my $query = new CGI;

my @names = $query->param;
my $url = $query->param("URL");
my $fh = $query->upload('upload_file');
my $filename = $query->param('name');
$filename =~ s/[^A-Za-z0-9\.\_]/_/g;

print "Content-type: text/html\n\n";

open(OUTF, "$directory$filename") || Error; 
while ( $bytesread = read $fh, $buffer, 1024 )
{
print OUTF $buffer;
}
close OUTF;

print "$directory$filename";

Sub Error{
 print " error - $! ";
}

Output is as follows:

/home/curbdire/www/uploadedimage/test.gif error - Bad file descriptor

Anybody have any thoughts or ideas - I am totally stumped and at a loss to where to go next. Thank you for your assistance
