I think the note above is for the special case when the parent still has work to do but doesn't want to have to wait on the children, which is subtly different than what you actually asked, aka can the parent close. Assuming you really do want to close the parent then you should be able to, though you may want to take a look at the source of, Proc::Daemon::Init() Before coding this yourself, it is a handy tool.
