Daemon.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

If you want to create a daemon without the fancy command line parsing
and PID file checking functions, use

    use App::Daemon qw(detach);
    detach();
    # ... some code here

This will fork a child, terminate the parent and detach the child from
the terminal. Issued from the command line, the program above will
continue to run the code following the detach() call but return to the
shell prompt immediately.
