It's not a very important distinction, but perl code is not compiled into C. It gets compiled to an intermediary format of Perl opcodes, which you can see with the B:: tools.
- a proxy front end handles the slow upload of data from the client - it forwards it (internal network, thus fast) to your backend mod_perl server, which can then process it (eg add it to the DB, resize the image, store it where it needs to be stored), and return the data to the proxy.
I think this depends on your proxy implementation. Some will buffer it up front and some will send it exactly as they receive it, which may be in chunks. - Perrin
