CGI::Application uses CGI (by default, you can use something else if you desire). From the docs for CGI:
You can use these variables in either of two ways. 1. On a script-by-script basis Set the variable at the top of the script, right after the "use" statement: use CGI qw/:standard/; use CGI::Carp 'fatalsToBrowser'; $CGI::POST_MAX=1024 * 100; # max 100K posts $CGI::DISABLE_UPLOADS = 1; # no uploads 2. Globally for all scripts Open up CGI.pm, find the definitions for $POST_MAX and $DISABLE_UPLOADS, and set them to the desired values. You'll find them towards the top of the file in a sub­ routine named initialize_globals().

Update Arunbear's response is more accurate. In my code, I can get away with setting the variables at the top of the script since other included modules are pulling in CGI.pm (via use). If my code was more robust (and I utilized the dynamic nature of CGI::Application), setting the vars at the top of the script would do no good at all (and would just be lost when the CGI::Application requires CGI.pm). So no more + votes for this node, ++ to Arunbear node below.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
