You can use forking with HTTP::Daemon for handling multiple simultaneous requests. I dunno about polling/select. I'd be curious to see a pure-perl ithreaded HTTP::Daemon if one doesn't already exist. As for using it with Apache, you'd probably be able to use mod_proxy as recommended in the mod_perl guide: light Apache process for static content up front which proxies dynamic requests to the heavier backend, in this case HTTP::Daemon instead of mod_perl.
