yes,you can. the Network Programming with Perl have introduced a way to do
that,maybe you can get re. :
sub daemon
{
my $child = fork();
die "can't fork:$!" unless defined $child;
exit 0 if $child;
setsid(); #comming from use POSIX;
open (STDIN, "</dev/null");
open (STDOUT, ">/dev/null");
open (STDERR,">&STDOUT");
chdir $rundir;
umask(0);
$ENV{PATH}='/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin';
return $$;
}

Subject: running child processes
Hi,
Is it possible to create more child processes and let them run, but close
the main program immediately?
I have read (in perldoc perlfork) that:
A way to mark a pseudo-processes as running detached from their parent
(so that the parent would not have to wait() for them if it doesn't want
to) will be provided in future.
Thank you.
Teddy
