in reply to perl one-liner to serve httpd current directory

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.

    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).
