Ooops, sorry, I'm going to swat you on that one. While you might be suprised at the number of HTTP::Daemons you can start before your system slows, there is no problem with open ports. Perl is incredibly secure, and fooling the perl interpreter remotely to do something bad is unheard of.

danielle would not be writing a daemon, because HTTP::Daemon is the daemon. And HTTP::Daemon is pretty good. The only way you can stuff it up is to send a huge POST request, and then the OS will just swat the daemon for taking up too much room.

I will totally agree with you that HTTP::Daemon is not the right tool for the job most of the time, though.
