not so sure i understand what you mean by 'overkill'.

mod_perl will use your web server's resources more efficiently, and with
20GB of data to process, i would think these resources would be best
used on other tasks beside the webserver upload.

the mod_perl API is maybe a bit more difficult than CGI, but not too.
and it mimics CGI's API in most places.

i guess we have different perspectives.

i find this very difficult to believe. do you have any references/data
that support this point? everything i've ever read and/or done myself
has pointed out that mod_perl uses far *fewer* resources than CGI. 

that's why people use it. 

maybe this is getting too far OT for a C:A mailing list ... [mod_perl
advocacy]
