Hi,

This brings up an interesting question ...

 * Is there a robust all-perl web server?
   i.e. HTTP::Daemon combined with Net::Server?
   HTTP::Daemon - an all-perl web server (single request at a time)
   Net::Server - multi-process, lots of nice things that Apache has

It would be somewhat analogous to how the Tomcat Java Servlet engine
can act serve web requests directly without any need for Apache.
Or if you want to knit it together with Apache, you can do so with
mod_jk (similar to Perl with mod_perl).
