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...
