For a web application, I'm trying to use CGI::Application::Server, a subclass of HTTP::Server::Simple in my modules' tests. So I want to create a server, do the tests and then destroy it when I've finished the tests. The creating is straightforward but how do I say "ok stop now."

Also is there a way to say "start on a guaranteed unused port"? Right now as a workaround, I start at 9323, if the server doesn't start then I add 1 and try again and so on until I get to 9330 when I bail out completely but this doesn't seem to elegant.
