uploading through perl/php and 500 errors

[oscetips]

hi everyone,

I wanted to create an interface to allow uploading short eductional videos to a directory on my site.
the webpages are written in php and the upload script is written in perl/cgi.

the scripts work fine, but on random occasions i receive '500 internal server error', usually with larger files sizes.

php filesize limits are 8MB, does this matter when uploading through perl?
do perl scripts have to be in cgi-bin?

any help would be useful..

thank you!

Login to www.x10hosting.com/account, under PHP details request upgrade to the intermediate version and the upload limit will be increased.

so php filesize limit affects uploading through perl?
i will apply for intermediate then, thanks

Just to clarify, yes perl/cgi scripts must be in the cgi-bin. I am unsure of the limit to upload with perl. But there must be one and I am sure it would be set to the same as php.
