Could be a bug in the library. If you email me a standalone program that produces the issue, I can try and reproduce it and help you.

note that if your mediawiki is >= v1.16 then you should not use the "upload" function, but rather the "edit" call - or directly via the "api" call. However the upload call should check your mediawiki version, and use the api directly if it can - but I could have made a mistake.

see:
http://search.cpan.org/~exobuzz/MediaWiki-API-0.39/lib/MediaWiki/API.pm#MediaWiki::API-%3Eedit%28_$query_hashref,_$options_hashref_%29

which you can use and it will handle the tokens for you for things like file upload

something like

$title = 'somefile.jpg';
$mw->edit( {
  action => 'upload',
  filename => $title,
  comment => 'uploaded an image',
  file => [ $title ],
  ignorewarnings => 1,
  bot => 1
  } );

also worth noting there is the http://search.cpan.org/~lifeguard/MediaWiki-Bot-3.005002/ extension, that is a higher level interface and provides simpler function calls - might be useful for you.

Best Regards

Jools
