There is no filehandle I could easily pass to $c->res->body(), because 
data comes from a DBIC ResultSet object.

Of course I could store the whole output from the database into an 
IO::String or similar and pass this object to $c->res->body(), but this 
buys me exactly nothing in terms of memory usage and time.

I thought of doing it with fork() and IO::Pipe (let the child read from 
DBIC ResultSet and pipe() to parent), but I'm unsure about the "costs" 
and side-effects when forking from a web-server process.
