Here is the main program I'm working with right now... It's incomplete but shows the backbone minus the irrelevant business content...

use threads;

getopt('sx', \%opt);    # -i, input file name [-t template name], valu
+es in %opts.

unless (defined $opt{s} ) {
    print STDOUT "\nUsage: ./orgserver -s datasourcename [-x xmloutput
+flatfile]\n\n";
    exit 0;
}

unless (-r $opt{s}) {print "Unable to read $opt{s}"}
if ($opt{x}) {unless (-w $opt{x}) {print "Unable to write to $opt{w}"}
+;exit 0}
$| = 1;

my $xmlfile = "OrgTree.xml";
my $xmlflatfile = $opt{'x'} || "FlatOrgFile.xml";
my $sourcefile = $opt{'s'} || 'data/infile-big.txt';
my $E = BusinessLogic->new({
    sourcefile=>$sourcefile,
    xmlfile=>$xmlfile,
    xmlflatfile=>$xmlflatfile
    });

$E->writeLog(99,"new Model tree and Daemon created");
#create the HTTP::Daemon instance
my $d = new HTTP::Daemon LocalAddr => 
  $E->{server}->{hostname}, LocalPort=>$E->{server}->{url};
$| = 1;
