This is true. There is a caveat though. The Apache:: modules (and particularly
libapreq modules like Apache::Request, Apache::Upload, etc) are Perl front ends
to very fast C modules. But overall, when uploading files the network time
usually trumps all other concerns so you shouldn't necessarily be worried about
execution time.
