I ran into a similar problem when trying to set up a CGI to save uploaded 
files. Below a certain size, it ran fine. If the file got too big, 
however, bam. The CGI script hung and wouldn't stop and the system got 
real unstable fast.

My guess is that it has something to do with the way MacPerl talks to the 
server and the CGI via AppleEvents. Is there some practical limit on how 
much data can be passed?

I ended up moving the whole thing over to a unix box and it works fine, 
all the time. There's gotta be a better way...
