Why not -s filename assuming you store it in a file system?

Because I would like to avoid too big files

Ok, so your question actually is: how do I avoid the uploading of big
files:

$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.

That should probaby be changed. It does not immediately exit with
an error message. It first reads (and discards) the entire contents
of the POST, which apparently the OP doesn't want to happen althought
it is kind of hard to figure out exactly what he wants. Also, it
doesn't exit at all. It causes param to return an empty param list,
and it causes cgi_error to return an error message--no exiting
involved.

You mean it reads until it detects that the max size has been reached?
Yes, that's what I expect, since one can keep streaming bytes, and only
when the max has been reached the script knows it was too much.

The second part: if the documentation is wrong, it must be fixed. Did you
submit this?
