Thanks, NetWallah, this looks very promising. ++

I just installed HTTP::Server::Simple with ppm, and I'm looking into using it now.  There isn't apparently a lot of documentation containing actual examples, so I'll need to experiment a bit.  But it's exactly the kind of thing I was searching for.

Update:  Perhaps I wasn't clear in my original post, but I'm running this on a single machine, so going with a client/server model (eg. running a full-scale webserver to process the page) isn't what I was after.  I realize that http is not the way to go for processing images, but I'm only intending to use it to select images for editing.  That's where the Perl back-end would come in.

Update 2:  After fussing with HTTP::Server::Simple, I've gotta say, it ain't so Simple.  :(  However, I did come across this excellent node, written by Corion.  I'm studying it now, with the hopes of incorporating some of it into my own program, but I'm already impressed with how quickly I could get it working on my pc.  :)
