Subject: Automatic port number selection
It would be nice if HTTP::Server::Simple let me start the server on a port selected by the system, so I don’t have to hard-code it or use random number and hope it’s not in use. I’ve found that passing '00' as the port number will accomplish that, but then finding out the number requires delving into HTTP::Server::Simple’s guts.

BTW, this is what I currently use: my($port) = Socket::sockaddr_in getsockname HTTP::Server::Simple::HTTPDaemon;
