I imagine it would be quicker and easier to make use of both file and
reproxy caching that write and test a fast/reliable plugin. I just
liked the idea of cutting mod_perl out of the loop for the 8 to 20
user-generated images per result page on this site.

I'm thinking of sticking with my original plan then :
mod_perl process checks for existance of local file, if there reproxy
to, and touch file,  else reproxy to mogilefs url and fetch file in
cleanup hook. Leave cleaning up the cache of images to a cron job.
