HTTP::Daemon::Threaded started as an apartment threading exersize. I was never comfortable with the plugin interface (all LWP based), but didn't have time to figure out a better solution in a threaded environment.
So when a user prodded me about it last week, it became a serious burr under my saddle.
After applying some IO::Scalar shenanigans, and a helpful %ENV hint from perlmonks, I'm happy to announce HDT is now CGI capable.
And just in time for IE8's 6 concurrent connection Web buster (I expect FF, Safari, and Opera will follow suit shortly).
Anyone interested in building the pure Perl replacement for Google Gears ?
