I love Perl. It's awesome.

I've been thinking of writing software in Perl that can be used on Windows but for it to work I will require a redistributable web server and perhaps Mysql? to go with that.

So, the way it would work is that I have a setup.exe file that I offer for download. When setup.exe is run to install my app it will install a webserver on port 12345 with mysql and then execute my Perl scripts - and this is all done on the host machine. Hope this makes sense.

Is there perhaps a web server I can borrow or redistribute with my Perl app so that I don't have to re-create a web server myself which can execute and run the Perl scripts.

Some apps that work this way (you simply install it and the app runs in a web browser on a server running on the local host) that come to mind is:

sabnzbd / deluge / sonarr / etc.
