Re^4: Demonize Module, What are your thoughts?

Thanks that anonymous sub makes sense.

What I'm trying to do with $SIG{__DIE__} is to run some code when the daemon dies to let me know it died. I just want to know if the daemon dies unexpectedly (perhaps Demonize isn't the best place to put this functionality).

The first thing to realize is that whatever you do won't be reliable. If you receive a signal that can't be caught, you won't have the chance to take any action about it. That said, `$SIG{__DIE__}` should work fine. Just be sure to check $^S before you do anything rash, and test your handler when it's done because I'm not really sure this does what you want.
