You may not actually want these pages to run under mod_perl at all. I've
decided that my big uploads & downloads will run under regular CGI, since I
don't want to tie up one of my precious mod_perl backend server children doing
something as long and dumb as transfering a file.
Also, the user won't really see any important performance benefits from
mod_perl anyway, since the upload may take several minutes, and the overhead
saved by mod_perl is typically under a second.
