Subject: Examples doesn't work on Windows
Server::HTTP doesn't work on Windows because of the forking stuff, but Server::HTTPSingle does. It would be nice to have the example programs automatically fail to the Server::HTTPSingle module when run under Windows. That would probably help to get people like me with a Windows desktop machine past the first "hey, what's this cool thing?" stage. /J

Ok. Hmm, doesn't Perl simulate fork() under win32 now? Or is it some strange behaviour as a result of the preforking?
