Please help me upload a binary file through a CGI script.

Hi Mark,

I've made a few changes to your code and added a lot of comments about 
what is actually going on. It looks like your use of warnings (that -w) 
caused the script to emit a warning before the first header, which gave 
Apache fits.

I added lexical scoping ('my') to all your variables and gave them 
default values (the || '') to avoid other warnings.

The comments should explain it all, but let me know if you have any 
questions.

Cheers,
~chris
