It's not likely that the problem is in mod_perl... At least not based on
my own experiences...
I've a script that I use under mod_perl for uploading files (images) that
hasn't run into any problems with file size...
If you want a copy, email me offlist and I'll send it over; maybe it'll
help, maybe not...

Hi,
We're trying to write a CGI script to upload pdf fils, at slash site
at www.ecept.net. We can get it to accept files, however, when we start
trying to upload larger files, we run into trouble. The first roadblock
occured inexplicably at 75k. Any files uploaded larger than 75k were
rejected with a "Malformed header" error in the httpd error log.
Next we tried playing around with the $CGI::POST_MAX variable, and
we were able to get up to about 300k that way, but even if $CGI::POST_MAX
is set to 1 Mb, any attempt to upload a file larger than ~300k results
in a malformed header message *and* a message about resetting the maximum
upload size to 75k!? We have since wrote "stripped down" versions
of the script to see if the problem is in slash, mod_perl, or apache
(even running a script on one of our other webservers that does not
have mod_perl running on it, and it worked fine). As far as we can
tell, it looks like the problem might be in mod_perl somewhere, but we
have not been able to track it down. Has anyone seen this, or have any
suggestion about what to try next?
We're running Apache 1.3.12 with mod_perl 1.24. and slash-1.0.8
