Thanks all for the suggestions; I really appreciate the help.
I will tuck BINMODE away for future reference.
Before I got those ideas, while digging around in the mailing
list archives I found a reference to the link function in
Apache::Request that creates a hard symlink to a specified
path from the uploaded temp file, thus:
my $upload = $apr->upload('file');
$upload->link("/path/to/newfile") or
die sprintf "link from '%s' failed: $!", $upload->tempname;
I tried that last night, and it works great.
Makes me a believer in checking the archives.

"Great leaders never tell people how to do their jobs.
Great leaders tell people what to do and establish a
framework within which it must be done.
Then they let people on the front lines,
who know best, figure out how to get it done."
