in reply to CGI.pm POST_MAX not working

"...limit uploads..."

You might take a look at File uploads with Mojolicious. And for further inspiration please see The Long Death of CGI.pm, Alternative to CGI.pm, Re^3: How do I run a loop within a PSGI application, and Re: Best practices: Generating HTML content.

    Thanks, Karl. This project is already way too far along in CGI for me to consider re-doing it in Mojolicious or something similar, but if I ever try to convert another bioinformatic pipeline of mine to a web application (honestly, not likely), I'll consider another approach like you've suggested.

    Thanks!

    Hmm, none of those links show how to limit the size of uploads

      Ibidem, a bit below...?

      "To protect you from excessively large files there is also a limit of 16MiB by default, which you can tweak with the attribute "max_request_size" in Mojolicious."
      # Increase limit to 1GiB
app->max_request_size(1073741824);
