Th "Other way" doesn't handle the size of the file being uploaded it helps
write it in smaller chunks.
CGI.pm will let you restrict the file to a certain size but the "Other way" writes
To the new file in smaller chunks no matter if the uploaded file is 1K or 1Mb.
Now that we have that all sorted not sure exactly what the pros and cons of
each are as I don't do to much file uploading. But the small amount I do is pretty
much your "Other way" method.
