Would you have a lot of unnecessary overhead if, instead of
writing your own multiplexing and embedded perl, you ran
a stock apache/mod_perl or fastcgi and a really simple
front end that dispatches the jobs via http requests?
It would add some software dependencies, but all things
that are well tested, packaged in distributions, and
already understood by system administrators.  You would
also inherit a framework for web status checking and
administration.
