Re: POE::Wheel::Run::Win32 and Win32::Daemon

In my experience Perl on Windows does not handle the (Program => \&foo) 
case well at all.  I have had better luck with the (Program => sub { 
foo() }) case, but even that seems a bit iffy to me.

I'm still waiting for someone who can explain why sub{ foo() } sometimes 
works when \&foo doesn't.

I've run into issues in this area a couple times, most recently
