Can I Make a Web Server in 15 Minutes?

My Macintosh application makes HTTP requests from third-party servers that are beyond my control. So, I've designed in lots of error recovery, but in order to test it I need to simulate poor responses. For example, to test my timeout algorithms I need to simulate a long- delayed server response.

It seems a good solution would be to set up a dumb little web server on my Mac, or another Mac on the network, and have my app send requests to it. I know lots of perl and found this tutorial entitled "CGI Programming with Apache and Perl on Mac OS X":

http://www.cgi101.com/learn/connect/mac.html

Before embarking down this path, I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is the correct (easiest) way to go. The link above seems to date back to Jaguar. Is there a more recent resource I should read instead?

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
