web hoster won't secure CGI

According to Lincoln Stein's book on CGI.pm, to make CGI safe, you
have to make configuration changes at the beginning of the CGI.pm
file. I asked my web hosting company if they had made these changes
to protect me from multi-megabyte uploads or large entries in
textfields and they told me that they make no changes to Perl modules
and I have no access to it myself.

Is there another way to provide this protection?

Thanks,

wana
