Yes, it's fairly easy to write an HTTP daemon in Perl. Pre-forking and load
balancing and shared memory for optimal usage is a little more difficult. But
in either case, it's just a one-liner in the Apache startup-config file to
associate "application/x-ldraw" with the extension ".dat". That's not only
the simplest way to serve .dat content directly, but it's also likely to be
the fastest, since a lot of programmer-hours have gone into making Apache
extremely efficient under heavy as well as light loads.
