Perl's "www::mechanize" module fails to upload file having large size

paragkalra · 10-24-2008, 05:59 AM

I have written a perl script that successfully uploads a 10 MB file but when I try to upload a file having a size of 150 MB. It throws an error.

I am not sure if it is a bug or can we increase the upload file size limit of www::mechanzie

As it's a proprietary perl script, I cannot share it. All I can say is that my perl script calls a PHP script that uses "$_FILE" to upload the file and it successfully uploads if the file size is around 10MB

The expected output is that file should get uploaded but if the file size is large it throws following error: "500 syswrite: Unknown error"

www-mechanize module version is 0.72

Also could please someone let me know the best Perl forum where I can refer this issue?

Maybe it is an upload limit configuration on server side ?

I am being able to upload the large file through WEB gui...so it's not a Size limit problem on the server ... also there is enough space on the disk.....

Any other pointers....???
