HI,
I am forking a child process from the main process.Then again forking another process from the child process, like,
while (1) {
 my $remote_paddr = accept(my $remote_socket, SERVER_SOCK);
 if (!defined(my $pid = fork)) {
        die "cannot fork: $!";
    } elsif ($pid) {
        next;
    }
# Do some processing,
 my $myserver = DBIx::MyServer::DBI->new(
      socket => $remote_socket,
      dbh => $dbh,
      banner => $0.' '.join(' ', @ARGV));

# Now launching another child process as,
 while(1){
  if (!defined(my $pid = fork)) {
        die "cannot fork: $!";
    } elsif ($pid) {
        next;
    }
# Do some processing,
# exit second child process
  _exit(0);
 }
#  Exiting the first child process
 exit;
}

When I exit the second child process, it closes the socket handle as well (or exiting the parent process as well).

What is the correct way to fork a child process and to exit it.And what I am doing wrong here.
Let me know your inputs.
