Yes, ther eis.  The limit of the script is the size that a TEXT resource
can hold.  The CGI glue stores the script in a TEXT resouce (don't remember
the number).  I had thought they had a limit of 32k, not 40k.  Anyway, if
you fill the resource, that's it.  Its full.

Export stuff out to a text file in the same dir.  Do somthing like this in
your code:

require "my-subs.pl";

&DoSub1;
&DoSub2;

That way at least your subs are outside of the resource and can thus save
you on some space.

Good luck.
