There is a version of Net::Server on ActiveState's PPM according to http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/module/Net::Server but only for Perl 5.6.

However, the ActiveState PPM site for Perl 5.6 and 5.8 says it failed to build on Win32.

So I tried to install it myself with the CPAN module, but unfortunately all tests using some form of "FORK" hang on the fourth item tested. Also the UNIX test fails.

I then deleted all these test files and installed it nevertheless and ran the example in the docs (the one using PREFORK) and that ran fine.
