How about something like this? 
#!/usr/bin/perl -l

use strict;
use warnings;

$| = 1; 

require IO::Socket;  

my $D = shift || '';
if ($D eq 'daemon') {
        require HTTP::Daemon;

        my $d = HTTP::Daemon->new(Timeout => 10);
        print "Pleased to meet you at: <URL:", $d->url, ">\n";

        open STDOUT,  '>', '/dev/null';
        while (my $c = $d->accept) {
            my $r = $c->get_request;
            if ($r) {
                    my $p = ($r->uri->path_segments)[1];
                     my $func = lc("httpd_" . $r->method . "_$p");
                     if (defined &$func) {
                         &$func($c, $r);
                    } 
                    else {
                       $c->send_error(404);
                    }
            }
            $c = undef; 
        }
        print STDERR "HTTP Server terminated\n";
        exit;
}

my $base = URI->new('http://192.168.1.1');

sub url {
   my $u = URI->new(@_);
   $u = $u->abs($_[1]) if @_ > 1;
   $u->as_string;
}

print "\tWill access HTTP server at $base";
