You're dealing with the web server timeout and nothing that has to do
with Perl. Even if you fork, you'll have the same problem. We upload
some pretty bigs files here at work and we just bumped up Apache's
timeout and we were cool...
Here is the Apache timeout we have in our httpd.conf
Timeout 300
Or you can just have the users use FTP instead of HTTP. :)
