take a look at this module http://www.modperlcookbook.org/~geoff/modules/experimental/Apache-CachePOSTRegistry-0.01.tar.gz I think it's doing the kind of thing you have in mind. unfortunately, recent versions of CGI.pm (3.01 and higher IIRC) have changed their read syntax so the once cool hack no longer works for CGI.pm-based modules. but the module might give you an insight on how to solve your problem.
