Gareth,

I'm have also interested in this topic, since this kind of scripting is 
on the  todolist of my own project.
Eval is very limited I guess.

I know of misterhouse which has it's own webserver in perl which 
supports threads (unix) or no threads (windows) param controlled by a 
variable called fork.
Maybe it's usable, I have ported other parts of misterhouse's perl code 
to gambas, which was quite easy to do, and runs very nice.
This is the code which makes up the webserver:
