How will your clients be connecting to the server? I would suggest having a look at:
perldoc -f fork
perldoc -f wait
perldoc -f waitpid
perldoc perlipc
You may also want to have a look at:

You should use whatever facility your particular OS uses for scheduling events, cron on unix, something else which I won't suggest I know about, on Windows or old Macs. That scheduler would then kick off the Perl process which can grab its data, send the report (via email, for example) and then quit. Would this work, or do you really need a daemon/server? http://danconia.org
