I don't think it's overkill, as rsync is only sending differences 
anyway.  There are many ways to do Perl CGI development though:

1. Local webserver for testing, edit files locally.  I find Mac/Linux 
developers do this a lot.
2. No local webserver, but testing via Perl's CGI:: library (it allows 
testing on the command line without a web server)
3. Remote web server, using something like ftp, rsync, scp, or webdav
4. Remote web server using a remote filesystem (like gnome-vfs)
5. Remove web server, via a deployment system (often something scripted 
against subversion)
