OK, OK, I take most of that back... :) I still think it would be a good idea to have a separate 'web-server' distro of Perl, with modules like CGI, Apache::*, perhaps some XML modules, HTML::Template &c. that aren't really of enough general use to go into core perl. Perhaps someone (I'd offer, but I don't really know eneough about it) could make up a Bundle-WebServer on CPAN, and then see if ActiveState will package it up as 'Perl: now with lots of added web-server-friendly features!'. That, I would have thought, might encourage cautious IIS admins to install perl.
