The upload feature still does not work... You got it half way working... it uploads it, it just uploads it into an empty text file with the name of it as 4502190. The actual name of the file is 1.html.

It's the same one that is on the web, so my guess would be that you are using a really old version of CGI.pm that doesn't support file uploads. To find out what version of cgi.pm you are using try:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use CGI;
my $in = new CGI;
print $in->header();
print CGI::VERSION;
print "<br>done!";
and see what it says.
Hope that helps,
Alex

I found the problem!!!
Around line 191 SHOULD be
var fileName = window.document.Upload.data.value.toLowerCase();
Around like 529 SHOULD be:
<input name=data type=file onBlur="serverFileName()"><br>
Now, it works
Apparently they never fixed the script at all. ARGH!
-Cheers,
RJW

Randy Jae is right with the fix. It was a naming problem, the script was calling the file upload variable "file" on the form and thinking it was "data" in the script. Changing the lines above fixes the problem.
I've double checked that the one on the web is the latest version with the changes. It was an awful source control problem.
On your fix you still call the variable "file", so unless you changed:
($file_space, $result) = &upload ($dir, $in->param('data'), $filename, $disk_space[0]);
to:
($file_space, $result) = &upload ($dir, $in->param('file'), $filename, $disk_space[0]);
in the script I'm not sure how that would fix the problem. Also, I'm not sure why you would have to rewrite the entire cgi script?
