You might add some more error checking for example: use strict;

and...

open (UPLOADFILE, ">$dirpath/$filename")
            or die "bad open $dirpath/$filename\n $!";

You might look at CGI::POST_MAX Your system admin may have set it in CGI.pm

perldoc CGI
# skip some stuff
$CGI::POST_MAX
     If set to a non-negative integer, this variable puts a
     ceiling on the size of POSTings, in bytes.  If CGI.pm
     detects a POST that is greater than the ceiling, it
     will immediately exit with an error message.  This
     value will affect both ordinary POSTs and multipart
     POSTs, meaning that it limits the maximum size of file
     uploads as well.  You should set this to a reasonably
     high value, such as 1 megabyte.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
