And how pray tell are you accessing the users system? ;-} And read()
wants an open file handle. You _are_ using strict and warnings, right?
Assuming your using CGI.pm (and you really do want to for this sort of
thing, IMHO) all you should need to add to your CGI is:
use CGI qw(:standard);
my $cgi = new CGI;
my $picture = $cgi->upload('forms_file_field_name');
&Error("no file?") unless defined $picture; # your &Error
just before the code you have above.

Not strange at all. Looks like you had no problem creating the file, but
I think you weren't reading in any data. HTH
