Can you give me some more advice on how to allow the uploading of large
(< 17 MB) files.

We are using the "older (non-database-oriented) scripts". When etd1.pl
is called it uses CGI.pm to put the contents of a submission form into a
variable ($query). Through the prodigious use of the CGI::Carp function,
I was able to learn that an 18 MB kills the script with an out of memory
error at the following line:

  $query = new CGI;

My hardware has gobbs of RAM. What sorts of alternatives are suggested
for eliminating this kind of problem?
