in reply to CGI web server in Perl

The best resource I've found is The Idiot's Guide to Solving Perl CGI Problems. Don't let the title throw you.

Barring that, yes, it's possible to make a web server in Perl that supports CGI. I used HTTP::Daemon. It's called Jellybean. As merlyn says, standard CGI scripts are really pretty dull once you have a web server that understands Perl.

But it does work for that.
