p5httpd p5httpd is a simple HTTP 1.0 server written as a single perl file. Written for use on a hand-held machine, it should be useful on any machine as a quick and dirty, non-secure webserver for occasional use. It understands PUT, GET, and HEAD, can do basic authentication and directory listings. CGI scripts can be executed or, if they are perl scripts, eval'ed. Unzip the distribution; this will create a single directory p5httpd-0.07 in your current working directory. Running the p5httpd.pl script (from a shell or by clicking) will start the server. Point your browser where the server tells you to.
