I'm looking into creating a Windows Desktop App/server with Apache for Windows and Strawberry Perl.

The way it would work is that I redistribute Apache with Strawberry Perl with my Perl scripts which are the app. When installing my App on a Windows PC it acts like a web server serving up web pages. My app will be working like a web site. I'm planning on creating a media server. Users install it on their PC's and media is served through a web browser to their PC's or other devices.

If I understand the Apache license correctly then I can redistribute Apache in this manner? My application will be free.

I've tried other solutions like Mojolicious but Apache + Strawberry Perl seems to be the most stable and practical solution. Can anybody see any major issues in going this route? (Apache + Strawberry Perl) I would hate to put in many hours on this just to find it is not practical.
