The HTTPDaemon implementation mainly uses handlers produced by the
common XML::Compile::SOAP modules.  So, it would be relatively simple
to translate it into a mod_perl version.  I had massive fights with
mod_perl2 quite some time ago, which I like avoid.

I have such a proxy for some other project and compared to XML processing
itself, the delay can be ignored certainly when the final daemon is on the
samen system as the proxy.

But now a serious answer to your question: see HTTP::Server::Multiplex ;-)
