Thanks flexvault... I had a similar idea while pondering all this.
Our application has a lot of file uploads, so many requests need to read several MB from STDIN -- which would complicate internal handoff. I was thinking I could have a script like /fast.pl which takes all GET requests and proxies them to a listener, as you describe, and then another script /upload.pl which accepts HTTP file uploads as traditional CGI.
Anyway, it is reassuring to know that somebody has actually done this and had it work well. We don't have mod_perl but perhaps I could just take the hit of running the 200-line stub as normal CGI, or I could write a persistent C# stub.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
