You might consider using CGI::Application::Plugin::Stream.
This will help you stream the files.
Also, if you use CGI::Application::Plugin::Authorization and CGI::Application::Plugin::Authentication, you can easily control access to the files.
For example, you can have multiple groups, each with different levels of access. This would let you have free downloads, downloads for "basic" customers, and different downloads for "premium" customers. Your database will need a table pairing up user id with access level. If someone tries to illegally access a file that they don't have access to, they'll get a "forbidden" error, etc.

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).
