Re: Simple http server one-liner for some static files? can be a starting point. other possibilties are present with new web Perl modules: `perl -e 'use base qw(Net::Server::PSGI); main->run(port => 8080, ipv = +> "")'` [download] L There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

Thank you very much for your answer and for pointing me to that discussion. After reading it I'm afraid that, unfortunately, I'd better suggest the python command since the people using the files on repository may not have experience/permission to install modules, and even the syntax might frighten them if they don't use Perl. Thanks for your time!	[reply]

If they're not going to program it, if they can't even install software, why use a programmers toolkit, why not simply use an end product, nginx or apache or whatever?	[reply]

:P (IO::All) `perl -MIO::All -e 'io(":8080")->fork->accept->(sub { $_[0] < io(-x $1 +? "./$1 \|" : $1) if /^GET \/(.*) / })'` [download] Unwanted? Yes! Unwarranted? Probably! Unwelcome? Jury nullification works!!!	[reply] [d/l]

Sorry I don't understand the final comment, I hope is not a bad one! Anyway: Can't locate IO/All.pm in @INC (you may need to install the IO::All module)	[reply]

The key hint is in the last few words of that error message: `you may need to install the IO::All module` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Install Mojolicious first, then `perl -Mojo -e'a->static->paths->[0] = "."; a->start' daemon` [download] You may want to generate an index.html too: `ls \| perl -lne 'print qq{<br><a href="$_">$_</a>}' > index.html` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]
