Having it as a systemd service is a much cleaner solution, whether it is shell or Perl or any other language. The main point of the App::Daemon module is to detach from shell, redirect stdout etc and provide start/stop/status commands, all of which are provided by systemd. I suppose if aiming for it to be portable to other init systems it could still be useful, but even so if on a machine with systemd I'd run it as a systemd service and tell App::Daemon to run it foreground (so that systemd takes care of backgrounding it).
