If you want to do it with a Mac and perl, the only solution I know of is
the WebTen webserver, which has its own perl interpreter in an emulated
Unix environment, which allows you to spawn off many perl interpreters at
once.

It might even have mod_perl (since it is basically Apache), which is
probably th best way to do "CGI" and perl.
