Have a project which has a web application component and in my INSTALL doc have required up until now that an HTTP server is already installed like Apache that must be configured to run the web application. I would like to remove this external Apache dependency and simply bundle a lightweight Perl HTTP server with my application that can be run using a simple script and command line options to customize port, etc.

Does anyone have any recommendations and comparison/contrast? There are quite a few I don't know where to start :) Searching CPAN I have found so far:

• HTTP::Server::Simple
• HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI
• HTTP::Server::Simple::PSGI
• HTTP::Server::PSGI
• POEx::HTTP::Server
• AnyEvent::HTTPD
• FCGI::Engine
• Starman
• Twiggy
• Starlet
• Corona
• Perlbal

Did I get them all? :)
