Just a note: inspired by the HTTP::Recorder article and and my work on a web testing framework I was recently hunting around for a pure-Perl proxy server that runs on Win32. The problem is that the solution mentioned in the article, HTTP::Proxy, is based on POE::Component::Proxy::TCP. Following the docs I setup a server really quickly and it worked perfectly. Sweet! Adding some code to generate the scenario descriptors was quick work after that.
It's not a general-purpose proxy server by any means (more of a tunnel), but it's useful to know.
