Well, there are obviously many event loop based frameworks out there.

Here's a few random thoughts:

Twiggy - https://metacpan.org/release/Twiggy (https://metacpan.org/release/Reflex) will let you run an AnyEvent Plack compatible webserver, so you could avoid having to even think about the event loop while you're doing the web stuff if you used this and a Plack compatible web framework (Dancer, Mojolicious, Catalyst, etc.)  Obvious care not to do something blocking from within your web server app would have to be taken.

If you want to go old school, POE has wheels that abstract out the HTTP bit.

If you want to go ultra-modern there's Reflex https://metacpan.org/release/Reflex
