As Andy Grundman explains, it works properly.
However, we have to pay for a minute to get expected results.

Here is the instruction:

1. Enable the "$upload->copy_to()" line.

     my $progress = $c->upload_progress( $c->req->params->{upload_id} );


2. Type the following commands at your terminal.
$ mkdir /var/tmp/uploads/
$ chmod 777 /var/tmp/uploads/


3. Start the test server.
$ ./Catalyst-Plugin-UploadProgress/example/Upload/script/upload_server.pl -f


4. Upload any file you want.
