hmmm.... I hope I don't get jumped on here, but perhaps (s)he is not using the HTTP::Daemon module because (s)he is trying to learn a new way of doing something.

I'm nowhere near being "just another perl hacker"; I'm more like "learning as much as I can so some day maybe I can be just another perl hacker." Often I find myself doing things the "hard" way instead of using Module::that::does::everything::you::want *because* if I just use the module, how will I improve my knowlege and skill?

(ignore me if what's I've said sounds stupid.)
