It's hard to tell without seeing your code. If you really want to
implement a pure perl http proxy, have a look at HTTP::Proxy[1].
In CPAN, you can see the sources of a perl module online by clicking
on the Source link on its POD-converted-to-html page.
If you want a *faster* implementation, you may use mod_perl + mod_proxy.
mod_perl is quite hard to understand at first, but you'll never regret
learning it. Because with mod_perl you get finer control of apache. I
guess you can't do that with other scripting language
(/^(?!perl).{3,6}$/) :-P
