jdtoronto has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Right now I have been requested to add support for an API which is not really an API in my book! It was written to support web servers and you start a process by sending it a POST with a complex set of custom headers and an XML file of data. The responses come back as HTTP GET requests to a server. What I need to do is have an HTTP server that will handle some basic CGI - ie it should take the XML which is sent by the remote 'client' - parse it, and store the resultant information in a database (we are using MySQL already on the project so this is no issue).
What suggestions do you have for a simple, Perl based preferably, HTTP server for Windows (2000 & XP) which I will probably start as one or more spearate processes and just let them run. They do not need to interact with the programme at all.
