Consider also that if you are moving that much data around, then perhaps you are using the $Application / $Session object poorly, with performance in mind. You might redesign your data structures to not require that they be stored fully on disk between requests.
Please read about the StateDB config at:
http://www.apache-asp.org/config.html#StateDB
You can use DB_File or GDBM_File to get faster access to larger data sets for both $Application and $Session.

Apache::ASP uses MLDBM by default. You can use a different tied-hash class if you want. There are several on CPAN.
You may also want to take a look at BerkeleyDB from CPAN. IIRC it doesn't have the 1Kb limit.

Subject: Storing large amounts of data in the $Application object
I am creating a web application and I some hashes loaded with data I
want to make available to all sessions, so I tried the command:
$Application->{mydata} = \%somehash;
but this chokes due to the fact that the $Application object is stored using
the DBM system which has a size limit of around 1000 bytes (it works fine if
the hash in question is less than 1kb).
Is there any way to have large data sets available to all sessions? Also, is there a way to make sure this data is kept in memory (I assume the DBM system uses disk files)?
