A couple more. Plack::App::Directory is what I usually use– `plackup -MPlack::App::Directory -e 'Plack::App::Directory->new({root = +> q{.}})->to_app'` [download] This (not necessarily recommended but good to know about) IO::All recipe does executables like CGIs too– `perl -MIO::All -e 'io(":8080")->fork->accept->(sub { $_[0] < io(-x $1 +? "./$1 \|" : $1) if /^GET \/(.*) / })'` [download] Update: because that verbosity is off-putting, I'd like to add that I use the first as this alias. `moo@cow[36]~>which www www: aliased to plackup -p 5000 -MPlack::App::Directory -e 'Plack::App +::Directory->new({root => q{.}})->to_app'` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

There is App::HTTPThis, which does just that.	[reply]

Your question is almost identical to these two, which include a lot of TIMTOWTDI solutions: Simple http server one-liner for some static files? one-line web server	[reply]

SimpleHTTPServer is a core python module. Perl does not provide a core HTTP server module. Perl actually removed the core HTTP request processing modules in 2014. Instead of bloating the core, Perl prefers to stay lean by relying on modules installed from the CPAN. As you can see from the other replies there are many Perl HTTP server modules.	[reply]

Perl actually removed the core HTTP request processing modules in 2014. Which modules are that? CGI.pm was removed in Perl 5.022, but CGI is not HTTP (and to be extra nitpicky, 5.022 wasn't released until 2015).	[reply]
