What I would like to do is set up an image cluster, to allow mod_perl to basically only execute code within the page, release and let another server worry about serving up images.
There is extensive documentation on this here: http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/strategy.html
Your redirect approach is better than nothing, but not as good as a proxy server or spearate sub-domain for images.
