[Pdx-pm] Writing Daemons with Perl?

[brendan at hollyking.org]

Greetings!

I have a program that I need to convert to run as a daemon.  That's the
easy part, I found some web pages that showed me how to make the
conversion.

The information I can't seem to find is how to handle communicating with
the program.  What's a good way to make sure it can shutdown
gracefully, reload if the configuration file is changed and things like
that?

Can anyone point me to a book or websites that might have information on
writing daemons?  I can make the conversion to Perl if the necessary.

Thanks!
Brendan
