Well, H::T::S is the basis for these stand alone servers:

  http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI-Application-Server/

  http://search.cpan.org/~markstos/CGI-Application-Dispatch-Server-0.52/

(I think that all of the functionality of CADS has been rolled into
 CAS and that CADS is EOL (phew...)).

I use them for development and simple stuff.

They have the same persistence issues/features that you see with
mod_perl/fastcgi (you garbage doesn't miraculously disappear at the
end of each request when the cgi script exits) but they work fine.
