Sorry that I didn't think to include a debug mode before posting that... in order to see what I'm talking about, you need to tail/watch wherever you put local6 logs; or change the log facility from local6 to something else that you're already logging w/ your syslogger.

Aha, I'll go and try that - thanks for reminding me about the perlipc perldoc!

Well, it's part of a larger piece of software that I'm working on; an event processing engine - part of the functionality will be a master process that dynamically forks off other daemons... I thought having a real Class for this Daemonizer thing would be beneficial and cleaner and more powerful once I added some features.

Thanks for your help!
