I have tried lots of variants without success.

So have I with fork scripts, and I haven't come up with anything satifactory. I received this warning for several of M Lehmann's modules including this one:

*** The stability canary says: (nothing, it was driven away by harsh w
+eather)
***
*** It seems you are running perl version 5.030000, likely the "offici
+al" or
*** "standard" version. While there is nothing wrong with doing that,
*** standard perl versions 5.022 and up are not supported by JSON::XS.
*** While this might be fatal, it might also be all right - if you run
+ into
*** problems, you might want to downgrade your perl or switch to the
*** stability branch.
***
*** If everything works fine, you can ignore this message.

I tried to let it run its course but eventually control-c'ed and q'ed my way out of it. I'll just chalk it up as one of many failed attempts to use some type of fork in perl. Instead of trying again, I should probably just accept that perl is uniprocess by design and not use a hammer as a screwdriver.
