Re^3: Simple http server one-liner for some static files?

[Anonymous Monk]

Joining the "better late than never"-motto, here a (long) one-liner which—in constrast to the answers before—does not require non-core modules:

perl -MHTTP::Daemon -e '$d = HTTP::Daemon->new(LocalPort => 8000) or  
+die $!; while ($c = $d->accept) { while ($r = $c->get_request) {     
+$c->send_file_response(".".$r->url->path) } }'

Actually this is a flattened and slightly modified version of HTTP::Daemon's synopsis section.

Update to Re^3: After a short investigation with corelist HTTP::Daemon turns out that HTTP::Daemon is not a core-module. I confused that since my fresh installed Debian distribution already came along with that module...
