I was interested is using DBI:ProxyServer and DBD::Proxy in combination to access a remote SQLite database, so I coded up what I thought was a perfectly harmless test script to act as a server.

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

#  Server component of SQLite client/server prototype.

use DBI::ProxyServer;

{
    DBI::ProxyServer::main({

      clients => [ '192.168.0.115' ],
      debug => 1,
      localaddr => '192.168.0.124',
      localport => 16000,
      logfile => '/tmp/Server.log',
      mode => 'fork',
      pidfile => '/tmp/Server.pid',
    }, @ARGV);
}

Running this produced nothing in the log file (either as a regular user or as root), and netstat -at | grep -i listen did not show me that anything was listening on port 16000.

I haven't defined any clients, since this is just a test setup -- it's wide open (on my LAN, which is safe enough), and I haven't done anything to suggest which databsae this is going to connect to. Has anyone here used this module? Am I making some egregious error?

PS in case anyone else wants to try this module out, note that you'll also need to insatll Net::Daemon and RPC::PIServer, the latter of which is confusingly called PlRPC.
