[cgiapp] small webserver

I understand Catalyst has its own "test" web server.

For our purposes, some simple server like that would be perfect,
and I'm wondering if CGI::Application has something similiar.

It's not our business to insist on a full-blown webserver for
what will be a small management/configuration application.  The
app will also have to do some network validation sorts of things
(that I'm sure various Perl modules already address).  But
scalability will not be a concern, and any concurrent activity will
probably be an accident.  I'd like to minimize the footprint of
any solution we pick.  Also, the solution should be runnable
on both Windows and Linux.

If CGI::Application doesn't have it's own web-serving engine,
does anyone have a favorite very small server that they've used
with cgiapp?

Is anything perl-based WAY off track for trying to minimize the
footprint?  It's not an embedded platform, but for the limited
purpose of the app, the some 270MB I see used by Strawberry perl
on Win seems a bit much.

Thanks!
