Hi Bas, This is number one on my wish list too. I need to fork a lot of processes per request ... the memory cost of forking an apache child is too high though. So I've written my own mini webserver in Perl (which I need to proxy to) but I'd prefer to have a Perl Application Server, listening on port 80... I actually implemented the system in Java to use threads but it ran really slowly under load ... so I gladly reverted to Perl. It has been something of a search for the 'Holy Grail' ... but I think a compromise design would be something akin to http://jetty.mortbay.org ... this is a lightweight application engine that includes a HTTP/Servlet handler ... in other words: a P5EE application server that you can plug a fast HTTP/HTTPs handler into.
