If that's the case, you probably just need a web server. There are modules that do this (HTTP::Server::Simple) but if internet access is an issue, CPAN install may be also. You could always Google "perl simple web server" and you'll find ways to code it up with IO::Socket - standard core module.

I do have a simple webserver that has cgi capability called thttpd. I use it extensively to perform quasi rexec functions. I just wasn't sure how I would capture a webhook notification and send back an OK. Thanks

Whatever CGI-based Perl module you are already using for your "quasi rexec functions" will have documentation on how to extract the body of a POSTed request. Refer to that for the details (or if you cannot find or understand the documentation, then reply here with specifics such as which module you are using and which version). Then it's just a matter of dumping it to a file and printing the appropriate headers and body back to the client which should be straightforward.
