Beware that there is no such thing as lightweight C code if you run this on Solaris, it will fork and to do that first assign enough memory as the parent process (AOLserver) is using, which can be costly if your box is hit hard.
Another way of doing this, if the app positively must run on the same IP/hostname as AOLserver, is to use mod_proxy in Apache to forward any request _NOT_ for the Perl app to AOLserver running on 127.0.0.1.
