One running WebTen or MachTen, I suppose.

But why would you want one? There are some aspects of platform evangelism
I just don't get. If you want to use Perl on a web site, then for a
variety of reasons you want Unix/apache/mod_perI, which you should be able
to find easily. The advantages of MacOS are all for the person sitting at
the machine. Once you're talking about remote administration, there are
lots of problems. I'd much rather remotely odminister a Unix site.
