[Boston.pm] Limiting compiled code in Daemons.

I once worked with a perl system that spawned many, many daemons from a 
large perl code base.   It had an elaborate system of several steps of 
forking and restarts of child processes with eval'd 'use' statements so 
that each daemon only compiled, and was running, its own minimal amount 
of code, rather than the full set of code. Looked like an entirely 
custom-made system.   Are there other (hopefully simpler and more 
direct) schemes to achieve this result?

Probably not as critical an issue these days as it was when that system 
was created in the early 2000's, but still interesting in some situations.

Thanks,
Jim Eshelman
