Since this is the second post in a short time that has nothing to do
with CGI::Application I think you may be under the impression that this
is a general perl/web mailing list. It's not. It's a list for
conversations about the module CGI::Application.

For more general (and basic) Perl/Web/CGI questions, you can look at:
  http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=beginners-cgi
  http://lists.cpan.org/showlist.cgi?name=perl-win32-web (for windows)

Are you saying that it should crash? Unless there's some weird shared
constraint that would prohibit more than one person running the same
processing at the same time then it shouldn't crash. Or is it because it
overloads the system too much? Either way, you're going to have to save
the files to disk (that's pretty simple), send a response back to the
user's browser and then process then later with a cron job or custom
daemon or something along those lines.
