If you've got enough data that you're worried about limits, and the data is
consistent (i.e. same number of fields for each package), you might just go
the write-the-text-file-upload-it-parse-it route right off the bat. Parsing
a file like that would be cake on the other end thanks to the consistency of
the data. Having one machine submit numerous forms to another to upload your
data is kinda inefficient.
