Rob, I used this for a long time : http://meteorserver.org/ At the time when I used it, it did not have support for secure websockets.
I ended up having to rebuild the system in node-js using the very popular socket.io I love perl as much as anyone, but I think for building a websocket server, the most mature, well tested, documented solution is socket.io Good luck!
