I found that the problem was in the perl script in which I was not returning anything back to the caller. So far I have been able to upload binary and ascii without any problems. Thanks to everyone for their help.

    This can be anything. Perhaps no "Content-type" is outputted from the script,
    or you can't execute it (can you do it from the command line?). Perhaps you
    aren't allowed to run cgi-scripts on the web server, or wrong permissions.

  My usual culprit (Just my humble 2cts) is the .cgi script is not saved in UNIX-format (lf) - but rather is saved as DOS (cr/lf)- This makes a difference even on Windows Apache servers.
