in reply to Daemons in Perl

Can anyone give me a few pointers for writing a daemon in Perl? Something that listens on some port and replies to some requests made via sockets. What stuff do I need to know (functions, libraries, modules, packages etc)?

Linconl Stein's Network Programming with Perl covers everything you need to know.

A careful study of HTTP::Daemon will also be rewarding.
