I hope someone else knows of an example. Conceptually, it's simple, and
I can see the solution from start to finish. But I'm surprised it
hasn't been done very often. Maybe we need a proof of concept.
There's a Perl module called Net::Server
(http://search.cpan.org/~rhandom/Net-Server-0.93/lib/Net/Server.pm) that
could be used to easily implment a simple HTTP server for use with
something like this. Another such module would be HTTP::Daemon
(http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/libwww-perl-5.805/lib/HTTP/Daemon.pm).
The installer could be smart enough to ask if this is a desktop/standalone
install (and use the Perl module or whatever other lightweight httpd is
included with the package) or a server install (in which case it would use
the Apache or whatever is running on the server.
