I have tried everything, chmod the files, reinstall perl modules, rechecking the configuration etc!!!! Can not figure out what is wrong!!! but I can guarantee that the script is not broken!

Try running:
perl -c /var/www/cgi-bin/upload.cgi
Quote from perldoc perlrun:
-c causes Perl to check the syntax of the program and then exit without executing it. Actually, it will execute "BEGIN", "UNITCHECK", "CHECK", and "use" blocks, because these are considered as occurring outside the execution of your program. "INIT" and "END" blocks, however, will be skipped.
