You could also have just done a mkdir './tmp' if ./tmp doesn't exist
(you're probably sitting in your cgi-bin dir) and used 'tmp' or './tmp'
for your tmp dir and then set $ENV{TMPDIR} to wherever that is.
From CGI.pm docs:
To ensure that the temporary file cannot be read by other CGI scripts,
use suEXEC or a CGI wrapper program to run your script. The temporary
file is created with mode 0600 (neither world nor group readable).
The temporary directory is selected using the following algorithm:
1. if the current user (e.g. "nobody") has a directory named
"tmp" in its home directory, use that (Unix systems only).
2. if the environment variable TMPDIR exists, use the location
indicated.
3. Otherwise try the locations /usr/tmp, /var/tmp, C:\temp,
/tmp, /temp, ::Temporary Items, and \WWW_ROOT.
Each of these locations is checked that it is a directory and is
writable. If not, the algorithm tries the next choice.

Things to look at or try:
1) What are the perms on /tmp ?
2) What user are you running as ?
3) Could you create a tmp dir under wherever you are running
and give it 0600 or 0644 perms and try using 'tmp' then
instead of '/tmp'.
4) If you have shell access, see if you can create a file in
/tmp and/or this new dir ./tmp .
5) What webserver are you using ?
6) Continue on in this vein until you figure out why you're
being denied permission to create the temp file.

I tried
my $tmpdir = "/tmp";
and
my $tmpdir = $ENV{TEMP} || "C:/tmp";
and
my $tmpdir = $ENV{TEMP} || "/tmp";
Same error: "Software error:
CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied"

You probably want /tmp on UNIX's. C:/temp is for Windoze.

Re: filefield
Bill et. al.,
This is a little embarrasing. Bill, you helped me with a similar problem
back in December, but I never quite got it. Below is the code you gave me.
But when I browse to a file and submit, I get the error: "Software error:
CGI open of tmpfile: Permission denied".
About 10 lines down is the line 'my $tmpdir = $ENV{TEMP} || "C:/temp";"' Can
the C:/temp" part be the problem? I upload the cgi file to my linux server.
Or do I need to get the people at my server to set permissions somehow?

What's with the 8000 ? Try 260 or less.

A proper way to get help on something like this is to create the smallest
test script that you can that reproduces the problem and post it.

filefield
Friends,
I'm hoping I'm missing something obvious.
I have a cgi page with checkboxes, radio buttons, textareas working.
However, I'm trying to add a filefield and having trouble.
I have a print statement, followed by a few lines ending in commas.
Later I have:
start_multipart_form(-method, "post", -action, "famParam.cgi"),
Still later I have:
filefield('photo','x',40,8000),
etc.
That page works fine. However the receiving page displays an "Internal
Server Error" if I so much as mention a file on the filefield "browse" line
on the first page.
The first page seems to work fine. The second page has the error. Both pages
work fine if the filefield line is left blank.
I'm hoping that's enough clues.
Jerry
