Several months too late, but I just found this node... :/

I was able to get Net::Server to work under ActiveState Perl. I had to install via the cpan shell and force the install, as several of the tests rely on alarm, which isn't implemented in ActivePerl. Once I forced the install, though, the module itself seemed to work fine. I must admit, however, that I haven't tested it extensively and there may be some bugs I just haven't run into.

I'd be interested to know if anyone has used Net::Server on ActivePerl and if there are any issues to be aware of. I sent an email to the author but haven't received a response yet.

P.S.  I'm curious to know how exactly the code "dies mysteriously" and whether or not you got this issue resolved. I wrote a small custom POP3 server that I'm running on Win2k and it seems to stop accepting new connections after some fairly large number of hours. (Maybe between 12 and 24? I'm not sure exactly.) It only handles a single connection at a time, though, and the process remains, so it seems more like it's not closing its active connection properly. I haven't done much testing yet but was curious if this might be related. *shrug*
