Hello,

    There are several ways you can accomplish this. I've been using 
Net::Server::Daemonize in $work code to good results. There's other 
modules floating around in the CPAN - all you need to do is a quick 
search of "daemon" and search.cpan.org turns up 123 results!

    However, one "gotcha" about using those daemonize modules is that 
you better wrap it in a BEGIN block so you are daemonized *before* you 
fire up POE or weird things will happen ( in my case heh )
