When I run this tcp server script from the command line I can not exit out of the xterm that started the server. I simply don't know where to start to clear up this idiosyncrosy of this script. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the script 
#!/usr/bin/perl

use IO::Socket;
use warnings;
use strict;
my $server_port = 6002;
my ($input, $my_addr );
my $allowed = "192.168.0.53";
# Forking into a new daemon
my $pid = fork;
exit if $pid;
die "Couldn't fork: $!\n" unless defined($pid);
# make the socket
socket(SERVER, PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, getprotobyname('tcp'))
    or die "Can't create socket: $!\n";
# so we can restart our server quickly
setsockopt(SERVER, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, 1)
    or die "Can't setsockopt $!\n";
$my_addr = sockaddr_in($server_port, INADDR_ANY);
bind(SERVER, $my_addr)
    or die "Couldn't bind to port $server_port : $!\n";
# establish a queue for incoming connections
listen(SERVER,SOMAXCONN)
    or die "Can't listen to socket: $1";

# accept and process connections
while (my $response = accept(CLIENT,SERVER)) {
  next unless(defined($input = <CLIENT>));
  my ($fpart, $spart) = sockaddr_in($response);
  my $ipaddr = inet_ntoa($spart);
  unless ( $ipaddr eq $allowed ) {
    send (CLIENT,"Sorry, ($ipaddr) is not an allowed hosts...\n",0);
  }
}
