Why not PAR and have the webserver be in Perl? (Score:3, Informative)

Why not use PAR (in the CPAN) and chromatic's mini-web-server in pure Perl that does Template Toolkit and CGI-like interfaces as well? Then you have only one technology to mess with. You can even package a different binary for each of the likely platforms (like windows, Linux, etc) on the CD.

  The target market is 99% windows. For everyone else they have a cd with static content they can access as they see fit.
  Microweb is a pretty decent product, you can make it autoplay, fire up the webserver, copy over any mysql databases you need, start mysql and then open the index page in the user's default web browser. It's that kind of slickness I like and $299 is easily affordable. I'm not sure how I could do something similar with a pure Perl solution.
