RFC: Apache::UploadMeter

[Issac Goldstand <ma...@beamartyr.net>]

I need to make an upload meter for a project that I'm working on, and was wondering if it was worth making a generic one and puting it under the Apache::* namespace (probably Apache::UploadMeter).  The reason that I'm asking is because it's going to need a rather extensive configuration to implement - it needs to use different parts of the request chain for 3 seperate locations (the form with the <INPUT FILE> tag, the script that processes it, and the location for the "meter").  It will also require several manual additions to the HTML that must be done (to some extent, at least) outside mod_perl (JavaScript code to open a popup browser window to display the "meter").  Do people here think it would be worth building such a tool?

I'd love some feedback before I try racking my brains trying to figure out the easiest way to implement this...  Thanks in advance.
