That will only give the approximate filesize. $ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} is the total size
of the
entity body. With 'multipart/form-data' (the enctype used with file uploading), the
entity bodies
size is even larger than normal. The more data sent (besides the file), the larger
$ENV{CONTENT_LENGTH} will be.
Unless I am mistaken, CGI.pm does not track filesize data directly. If the POST size
(not file
size) is larger than what CGI.pm is allowed, then $query->cgi_error will contain the
text "413
Request entity too large".
